I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted anything. The truth is that I've been home with you every day for a few months now and I've just been a little caught up in spending time with you!
So, this post is just going to be a chronicle of the times that you've made me laugh and smile in just one day... today. I feel like this will be a way to sum up just how happy you make me!
1. When I came into your room to get you this morning, you literally jumped up and down in your crib yelling "Dadda!"
2. After a moment, you grabbed your diaper and gazed at me with a very concerned look, then said "Oh crash." That's your way of signaling that you have a dirty diaper.
3. Downstairs, you drove your little three-wheeled scooter into the wall, turned it to balance precariously on one wheel and yelled in a little high-pitched voice of mock concern: "Ohhhhh Craaaash!"*
4. You started spontaneously spinning in circles while some random music was playing. This is your way of dancing. It is hilarious.
5. While we were in your bedroom, you dragged your giant (to you) rocking giraffe up onto your couch to give it a hug and then had a really concerned look on your face while you sat there with it on your lap.
6. When your mother got home from work, you jumped up beaming with excitement and yelled "Momma!" before running over to her.
7. You cracked up hysterically during the movie Aladdin while the magic carpet messed around with the monkey. You don't watch a lot of television, but it's really neat to see you actually reacting to the things that happen on it now instead of just staring blankly!
8. When we walked to Dunkin Donuts this morning, you stopped in your tracks when the train drove by, pointed at it and yelled "Choo Choo!"
9. At Dunkin Donuts, you voraciously attacked your assortment of donut holes, shoving whole ones in your mouth and then arduously chewing them. Loving donuts is kind of a family tradition, so it's nice to see it passed on!
And that's just one day! It's so hard to imagine life before you, little guy. I know it was still good, but you have added so much brightness to it that I couldn't resist giving you just a little glimpse into a day in the life...
Love,
Dad
