The last two months, I have been back in the States for a work promotion. Before this, the longest I had been away from my wife (@helenoftroy) was two weeks. Coincidentally, that was also the longest I have been away from my daughters.
We Skyped almost every day, did FB live videos for each other when we were not online at the same time, etc. During one of the calls, Helen told me the girls started holding their bottles by themselves now and then. That info was hard for me to hear. ”Would they let me feed them? Will I get to sit with them while they chill on me with a bottle?”
Thankfully, they still like the occasional bottle with daddy. That's the picture at the top :)
