Chris Pratt seems like a super cool dude. He's hysterical, visits sick children in hospitals, picks hilarious scripts, and, let's face it, Anna Faris is the bomb. But until you see some of Chris Pratt's best dad tweets, you don't really know just how awesome this man is. He obviously adores Jack, who is 4 years old and wears the coolest glasses ever. It hasn't always been easy for baby Jack and his parents, though. Jack was born nine weeks early and weighed just 3 little pounds when he was born. Pratt joked at the March of Dimes Celebration of Babies Hollywood Luncheon in 2014 that "that's a decent size bass. Very small for a human."
Like all premature babies, Jack's first days in the world were spent in the neonatal intensive care unit, where Pratt said that he played him country music and sang him songs when he was able to do "skin to skin" with Jack. Luckily, the little guy made a healthy recovery. Must be the power of music and lots of love.
Pratt said of Jack, "Our Jack went from a small helpless little squirt to a strong, happy, funny, and vocal boy. He loves monster trucks and Daniel Tiger and, believe it or not, he loves vegetables. Broccoli and cherry tomatoes are his favorite foods."
Jack sounds like a pretty cool dude. But probably because he has such a great dad and mom taking care of him.
Just check out Pratt's best tweets, if you're still unsure.
On Being A Traveling Dad
Pratt has to travel all the time for work and parents know how rough that can be. Pretty cute that he's crying over Macklemore, though.
On That Nice "Parenting" Smell...
If you don't smell like vomit, are you even a parent?
He Knows How To Celebrate Mom
Part of being a good dad is not just remembering Mother's Day, but helping your kid celebrate it, too, by properly thanking mom for everything. Including the hugs (those are the best).
He's Got The "Chill Dad" Vibe On Lock
Kids will do embarrassing things to your social media accounts, but Pratt doesn't seem too worried about it, even playing off a rogue post with some excellent dad skills. After little Jack accidentally posted a YouTube video about the "Play-Doh BIG BARREL FUN FACTORY Learning FOR LITTLE KIDS," fans were curious, to say the least, with even Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn joking, "Dude every time I see you it’s all BigBarrelFun BigBarrelFun BigBarrelFun over and over, seriously, it’s getting old." Pratt's suggestion? Maybe it was Jack's genius way of getting some more Play-doh.
He's Excellent At Sharing Cute Family Pics
The whole family loves the Seattle Seahawks just as much as Chris does, apparently.
Here's Hoping Jack Likes Country Music
Not only did Pratt play his son country music in the NICU, but he also got an earful while Faris was pregnant. Wait, who cares about Jack, let's hope Anna likes country. Because that was probably rough otherwise.
He Really Sweats The Details
How adorable is this? Becoming a parent is scary and it's easy to worry about the silliest of things, but Pratt wasn't letting any detail escape him.
Practice Makes Perfect
Hopefully Jack loves the book as much as his dad does.
Chris Pratt may not technically be a scrappy superhero like his character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but he's definitely one badass dad. Hats off to you, Jack, you lucky kid.
