With minutes to spare, I present Mr. Full-Time Dad’s top 17 Instagram posts of 2017… what an adorable year it was. Disclaimer: these may not be in perfect order, and I may have included a few personal favorites that didn’t technically make the cut (but should have).

For your benefit, they’ve canceled school pictures from here on out. You’re welcome.

Everything sucks right now… except this video. Three of my favorite things: pepperoni, Macklin and manners, not necessarily in that order.

I imagine I’ll be seeing that face again throughout his teens. In much the same scenario, too.

Made it to the third leg of vacation. Picked up right where he left off… jumping into the water.

I can’t look away… He’s cooler brushing his teeth than I have ever been at any point in my entire life. Or ever will be. #tbt #vacation
