I've got a 9 month old boy - Jackson. Hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me. Forget the sleep and nappies and crying and teething. It pails in comparison to watching his little personality unfold before my eyes and his little intriqesies come shinning through. From his infectious smile to him clicking his tongue (coping dad ) and learning to use his "pincer" pointer finger to grab his peas he's now thrown all over the floor. NOTHING should come before your child(ren) . Be present in every moment bath time , bed time , play time , dinner time , activity time etc . Any man can have kids it takes a DAD to raise them.
