quotes from daddy.

ellie was sleeping on my chest, and landon came to kiss her. it was so candid and perfect. he just looked at her and burst out with this without even thinking.

"everything is just so much more exciting now! she makes everything more exciting."

then later when i reminded him he said that:

"seriously, when i'm walking in the door, i remember she's in there. i get so excited. you just feel like you're doing something worthwhile. we're making a difference -- now more than ever."

yesterday after he said, "she's eating again?!" and laughed for awhile when i said, "yeah, i feel like a cow."

"and what an honorable job. when she goes to princeton you'll be able to say, 'i breastfed her.'"

and last night as he was laying on the floor watching her sleep next to him - a simple:

"wow."
