dear daddy,
i’m not sure where to begin to thank you for all of the love you have shown to me and my mommy during the last year. i think you were pretty excited when you first found out i existed.
i remember hearing screaming and some words that sounded like “wowie wit” and “muck”. the next few months i know i made mommy pretty sick and you took such good care of her. she told me you would go to the store at any time day or night to find stuff to help her tummy and food that she could keep down. once i got a little bigger, i could hear your voice really well.
i remember you singing to me and playing your guitar. you’re really good. i hope you can teach me to be as good as you someday! you put together my awesome crib and surprised mommy when she came home one day. you’ll have to teach me to be slick like that, too 🙂
i had so much fun in mommy’s tummy that i wasn’t quite ready to come out. it was really cozy in there, but i’m glad i finally decided to make my entrance 🙂 i love how you cheered for me at the end. i couldn’t wait to meet you. i already knew you were an amazing guy.
by the way, sorry for pooping on your hand the first time you held me 🙂 i thought it was pretty funny though.
the next couple of months were really hard on mommy. i know you saw her at her worst, but you were so wonderful with her and took such good care of her. thank you for being such a great example and loving her SO much.
i have loved every moment with you so far and look forward to so many more!
