Nothin' but love for ya, baby... Isaac wastes no time nuzzling up to the new baby in his life.

Up at odd hours, asleep by twilight. Who knows where this evening will take us?
Cramped hospital rooms do strange things to the visiting boy. Loud frenzied tantrums one minute, smooth debonair smooches the next. He's been waiting 9 months for this kiss.
What a fantastic early birthday present! So happy we got to take her home.

Hours before our family of three becomes four. Isaac knew something was up, as he waved the longest goodbye to his parents. It was one of the saddest, happiest goodbyes.
The operating room is full of intimidating things. Fortunately, this daddy knows how to work a paper suit.

At 10:11 am on August 15th, the moment we've all been waiting for... our little flower has bloomed.Who knew the seemingly harmless words Happy Birthday would elicit such a wild reaction?
Iris' debut... Welcome to the world. Welcome to Nashville. Looking forward to how you change the face of this boy's blog. Isaac, are you willing to share this space?

Birthday girl. I've been warned. I've been notified of your imminent arrival into my life and the lives of those close by. I try to act less than enthused. I've made myself believe that you're a fictional character that everybody keeps bringing up for the sake of warm-weather entertainment. But deep down, I know that today is the big day. We're all bursting at the seams to meet you, sweet Iris. We'll see you soon.
Sipping up the last moments of being the only one. Isaac contemplates what these scorching summer days could be leading up to. And why he keeps getting pressed with the question of where the baby is.
