It has been nearly two months since I last wrote on your blog. I am not sure why, but there is a lot to catch up on! You are becoming such a charismatic little girl. You are always smiling and laughing, just so content. We see each other a lot more often now and it is awesome!
To start, you have become a model. Not really, but we take pictues of you just about every 30 minutes. It's the only way daddy can make the time stop and sometimes I want to do that because I don't want you to grow up too quickly :/ Here are some photos you took!
We have been having so much fun! You have more clothes than the Kardashian's (hopefully this name means nothing to you when you are old enough to read this) and your Nana and Auntie Sonya just spoil the daylights out of you. Every time I go over there they have something new for you. We are doing a walk to celebrate your Auntie and your cousin Faith because they beat their sickness. You and Faith are wearing matching outfits. Don't worry. I am sure we will have 600 pictures of that event, too!
You are talking so much now, Mars. When we are driving down the road I will turn off the radio just so I can hear your little voice. Sometimes you scream just to hear yourself and I think it is the cutest thing. And when I call your name you will turn to find me and smile at me when you do. You really do melt my heart and there isn't anything I love more than spending time with you.
These days I get to hang out with you after work twice a week. Since I live a little bit away, we go shopping, or to eat until I have to get you back to your mom. But in just a few weeks I will live down the road from you. This means that when we hang out during the week we can just go home and spend time together instead of having to waste our time driving around! I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me.
So I actually got to see you today and we had our very first picnic :) Here you are!
This picnic was so much fun. We brought a couple of your new toys, including your friend Violet. Violet was a gift from your Auntie and she actually says your name. She tells you she loves you and you and Violet have the same favorite animal and food, too! A lot of people stop and waved to you and you smiled back. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again.
And the greatest thing to happen yet happened today...you gave me a kiss for the first time :) Now I will need them all the time. Sorry.
Well, tomorrow I get to pick you up from your babysitter and keep you overnight :) Saturday is the walk and then we are just going to hang out. I can't wait.
I promise to write more often from now on. Thank you for being so beautiful, sweetie. I am excited to play this weekend. You are the greatest little girl ever, and I am so happy to be your daddy. I love you, Marlie...from here to Pluto. See you tomorrow!
Love,
Daddy
