Where does the time go?


Today my boyfriends baby turns 2. Lexi's not much of a baby anymore. Its just hard to believe how fast the time goes by and what a ride for the 3 of us. My boyfriend found out that his ex was pregnant after we started dating but was unsure if he was the father or not. The mother waited till she was 7 months along to inform him that he was the daddy and at that time even I sort of doubted that he was. But the night that we got the call that she was in labour forever changed his life and mine. The moment he layed eyes on her all doubt went away and the questions no longer mattered. That poor little girl had such a tough start out to life and since she has been fully settled with him since she was 6months old she has just blossomed into a bright little girl.

Not even a month before her birthday he went to court and received full custody of her with no visitations from the mother who hasn't been heard from in over a year. (She had open right to come out but she has chosen to walk away, which in this case is a good thing for Lexi) I am filled with so much pride for the two of them especially him. A young man filled with uncertainty took on a job that he could of easily walked away from. Through the toughness of being a single father they have an amazing bond. So to you Lex, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What a sweetheart! I'm sure you're a great role model for Lex and what a great dad she has for stepping up to the plate and taking care of his baby girl.

Wow what a brave man you have by your side. I love hearing about single parent dads. So often the legal system is skewed in favor of the mom's. Nice to see a change. And she is simply precious.
