Six Month Birthday

Dear Dominic,

About a week before you were born I wrote you my first letter. Now, six months later I figured it was a good time to write another.

It’s only been six months since you’ve been in our lives, and yet I can’t remember what life was like before. I don’t remember what it was like to sleep through the night. I don’t remember what it was like to sit through an entire, movie, TV show, or video game. I’m also pretty sure I used to go to these places that served adult beverages, but I don’t remember them either.

But here’s the thing… I wouldn’t want to change any of it.

Your toothless grin brightens my morning, and welcomes me home. Your funny sounds crack me up. I’ve even gotten used to finding mysterious spots on my clothes.

Every day brings something new, something amazing. One day you’re grabbing my finger, the next you’re eating real food, rolling over, sitting up, and the best so far… saying “dada”.

Dominic I want you to know, that your mommy and daddy feel like the luckiest parents in the world.

Happy six-month birthday, we can’t wait for the next six.

Love you,

Daddy
