Emma Broady Cifuentes was born on January 4, 2017. She was a tad under 5 pounds; a puny little thing. Since then, she's packed on over 8 pounds and has grown around 24 inches tall. As for me, well, I feel like my world rapidly shrunk down to her numbers. She is the only thing I think about.
The other day, Emma fell asleep for the first time in my arms. The moment felt better than I could have ever imagined it. It felt like I had finally graduated into parenthood, like I had officially become a dad. I wanted to record that moment forever, and subconsciously that is exactly what I did. I replayed the moment over and over in my head, so that one day, 15 or so years down the road, I can remember my first moment holding a sleeping Emma in my arms to remind me how important a father's role is to their children; and how special it is to hold your baby girl in your arms.
