Dear Marlie,
You turned 6 mos three days ago! Time sure is flying. This weekend was so special because this was the first time I have ever gotten to spend two days in a row with you. What a fantastic Father's Day present that was :) I don't get to see you as much as I would like to right now, but I am prayerful that changes soon. Every time I see you, you have grown so much that I feel as if it has been a year since the last time I was able to play with you. You are such a little doll and your personality just makes Daddy melt!
I got many "Happy Father's Day" text messages and messages on Facebook (don't worry. I will explain what these are to you when you are old enough to read this) today and they were all awesome to get. But I could have heard from no one at all and as long as you were with me today, my first ever Father's Day would still have been a day to cherish forever. Being a daddy is so special. And being your daddy is the greatest gift I will ever receive.
Here are some things that happened this weekend:
We went swimming together for the first time!
You got me a Father's Day card :)
You held your cousin Faith's hand when Auntie Sonya was taking pics of the two of you!
You reached for me when I picked you up from your Grandma this morning :)
We found out that you are super ticklish!
I turned off the radio after I first picked you up so I could listen to you talking in the back seat...
It's as if ever single second that I have you, something significant is happening. I absolutely melt when you smile at and reach for me. Everyone knew that if I had a girl that I wouldn't stand a chance and, well, they couldn't have been any more correct. I just want to hold you all day and sleep at night with you in my arms and wake up to your cooing. Soon enough, mama.
Well, I only dropped you off an hour and a half ago and I already miss you. Thursday won't get here soon enough. Just know that when you aren't with me, I wish you were and that Daddy loves you more than I am afraid you will ever know. Until next time, thanks for a perfect weekend and I miss you tons. Love you from here to Pluto, Marlie.
Love,
Daddy
