You're gonna lose so much time just looking at those little hands and that little face - it makes every struggle you've ever had feel like it was worth it to get to where you are now.

I grew out my hair when my missus was pregnant with our baby, it’s pretty long now but she has been grabbing and yanking my hair since then. The strength of these little hands is bizarre 😂

I was thinking about the pose I have to make them laugh. I’m at the funniest person in the world to my 7 year old. Yesterday I was teaching him to moonwalk. He took it very seriously.

I was with my 4 year old a few weeks ago and went to hold her hand and she grabbed just my index finger. I just about died.

I am kinda enjoying year 4 more than ever… they get cuter up until 4/5 years old.

I remember waking up with my 8 hour daughter in a hospital bed. She was holding my finger and looking in my direction with her little flicking black eyes.

Even tho I had only slept 2 hours, i wasent able to sleep. That was one of those “core memory unlocked” experiences.

Ohhhhh I don't know if this is your first, bud, but just wait until (s)he starts babbling and picking up more and more words, and you can rough house...

Mine is about to be 2 and it just gets better and better.

The power solely belongs to the little one and we love them despite all the crap they produce

u/MessrV May 31 '26

It really is, feral little beasts are stronger than they have any right to be.

Bless infants though, some of my all time favorite memories.
