Today’s blog is about my beautiful baby girl Jordyn! She’s recently turned 5 months old and it’s quite incredible.

The wife and I have always wanted to build a family, but it’s pretty wild what happens when you actually CREATE A HUMAN. Every day she’s doing something new that she couldn’t do the day before. Just recently she’s started to hold her own bottle without assistance and this was the most spectacular development to me!

Since I now consider myself a blogger, I’m always looking for little insights to write about. Watching Jordyn grow every day has taught me something about human possibility and achievement and I want to share it with the world 🙂

Babies don’t know anything about life yet and all of the distractions and emotional challenges. All they know is I’m hungry, I’m wet, and I’m tired. Everything else to them is purely about exploration! What’s this foot thing about? I’m going to put it in my mouth and taste it. (I’m describing my daughter eating her foot by the way). The point is everything is new and there is no real fear of failure but only the urge to explore and try.

I think we all need to approach life with this lens. So what if you don’t know how to do something at your job. Throw your hat in the ring to learn and explore something different. Trust that you will come out on the other end a better and improved individual.

Recently, I’ve decided to take on two new things in my life and career. This blog is one of them and tackling data science and business analytics at work is the other. Partly because both of these things previously scared the hell out of me. But I’m learning every day and more importantly, I’m getting better at these things every day. Thanks, Jordyn 🙂

Oh, and he’s a cute picture of my baby girl. She’s absolutely adorable and when she gets older and starts asking Daddy for money, I will be broke. Who can say no to her?!
