Well, here we are in 2009 and you are growing like a weed. Your mom and I have spent the past 4 months watching your first stages in life go by at light speed. Its amazing how much you have changed in such a short time. Chubby cheeks, hundreds of full diapers (some changes only seconds apart), all the smiles, laughs, new sounds, giggles, rollovers, growing appetite, head bobs and loud crys are all pleasures of mine. God picked me to be your dad and witness moments like these everyday. He's amazing our God, to you, to me, to everyone, that's what I say! (Mommy laughed really hard when she read this....pretty cheesy I know)
All of these things and many more are part of the list of things that we love to witness everyday. (By the way, we need to work on that snore of yours!) We can't imagine our life before you arrived. Behr, you have brought so much joy, laughter and more meaning to our lives than you could ever imagine. We fully intend to enjoy every bit of you in the next several years, so yes you are stuck with us.
This week has been big time for you let me tell ya! (maybe more for mom and I) You're now sleeping a full 12 hours, as of this week (Feb. 28). You had been sleeping for about 10 hours but you let us know it was time for the whole enchilada. What a joy it's been!!!!!! We also hit our first bowl of rice cereal a few nights ago and to our surprise you loved it. As soon as you saw the spoon, it was like "come to papa". (The past 2 nights however wasn't as easy........to be continued) You usually wake up on your stomach now since you learned how to rollover. It seems your favorite thing to do when you lie on your back is raise your legs in the air, so that's usually where they are, in the air.
Another major step is you are now going to school. Actually you have been for several weeks now and you love it (let's hope it stays that way Mister). You have to have your "me" time so we either play "My Baby Can Read" or "Baby Einstein" and you are set. Mommy and I also use our books and flash cards as we teach you words like, "Hi, Tiger, Elephant, Wave", etc. I know it's early but you will catch on. Believe me you love it right now. Music might just be your favorite thing though besides your mom. Many nights I'll sing to you or play your IPOD in your room and you are all about it. Lady Antebellum or John Mayer seem to be your favorites so far (maybe because we play them more than others??) You love all these things but you are so captivated by your mom and her smile, more and more everyday. I can't tell you how it feels to see you two look at each other they way you do. (Yes, this is where daddy gets emotional).
I just want you to know that when daddy is gone at work, he is thinking about you and mom. I love you very much and I can't wait to get home to be with you each and everyday. I can't wait to see you smile and hear that giggle again so, let's go play, daddy will act stupid again and you can get a good laugh............see everybody wins!!
