Being a Dad

Last night was my first real babysitting experience with Austin. I mean, it was our first chance at home alone while Jaclyn was away at Mutual. (Jaclyn was called on Sunday to be a YW Advisor, which she is very excited about.) This was the first time I watched him by myself other than when Jaclyn is napping/sleeping.
It was pretty fun. After giving him a bath, I put his pajamas on and fed him. I accidently fed him too much. I had a bottle for him and it was about 2/3 full, so I thought that was probably enough. I didn't realize the botte was 9 oz instead of the normal 5 oz, so he had a feast. I payed for it in when I was burping him and he spit up all over the burpcloth, his PJs and my shirt. I laughed and went to go change his clothes for the sixth time that day. (He had a good streak of messing his diaper or spitting up or peeing on his previous outfits.)
When Jaclyn got home, she calmly told me that he normally eats 1-2 oz at a feeding, not the 4 or 5 I gave him. Oops.
Overall, I had a great time with him. He is really cute to watch and cuddle with. Nothing better than being a dad.

P.S. I have started the new "Song of the Week" feature this week in celebration of me buying my first country CD. This week's pick, "These Are My People" by Rodney Atkins.
