The Present is a Gift

Dear Daniel,

You have started to do some new things in the last few weeks. You squeal, you laugh, you love to use your hands (not to mention eat them), and you’ve learned to roll over. I can’t believe how quickly you’re learning and changing.

You’re also growing bigger and bigger! We have your 4 month check-up soon and I can’t wait to find out how tall you’ve grown. We know approximately how heavy you are since we do step on the scale with you from time to time for fun. Heh.

You just celebrated your first Christmas AND took your first plane ride down to North Carolina. You handled the plane rides well and ate and slept and were very quiet both ways. We weren’t too surprised but all of the airplane passengers sure were! They thought you were a dream.

You’re just like your daddy. Pop you into a moving vehicle and you’re out like a light!

You met a bunch of my relatives for the first time including 4 little people. I’m not sure you noticed these other babies but I bet you will in time, and maybe someday soon you can play together.

We came back to New York for several more Christmas celebrations and you made out like a bandit. We are renaming Christmas Danielmas.

We did our yearly photo in front of the fireplace at your Grandma’s sister’s house in Connecticut.

This was last year’s photo. (You are in it too, you just can’t see you since you’re under that pillow and inside my tummy.)

Last night the three of us rang in the New Year together. You were up to party with us all night long and we couldn’t get you to settle down until around 1 in the morning because you were having way too much fun rolling from your back to your belly over and over again.

This is the kind of party I am happy to attend these days. It’s where I want to be.
