This "diary" tells in short, likeable texts, in a relaxed and casual manner and with a good dose of humor and self-irony, what the author observed and experienced as a new father in the first year of his son's life. From the early days, when he didn't know what to do with this mewling little one, to the boy's first birthday. We witness the little one's first smile, hear his first words, observe how he first crawls, then learns to crawl and finally to walk, worry when something goes wrong, and rejoice with the parents over the big and small successes. Amusing for the experienced parents among our readers and reassuring and encouraging for those who are new to parenthood.
