Dear Breck -

Thanks for calling everything you love Da-Da... you call your Mama, your Bearpo, your Pacifier, your Bottle, pretty much anything you want, you call it Da-Da.  Sure makes me feel loved - but I also know it is just one of the easiest sounds to make, and since you are so smart, I don't expect you to do it forever, but thanks for doing while you do!

I love you buddy!

Love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Thanks for loving to walk EVERYWHERE!  You are so funny lately with your desire to walk... you haven't quite managed to walk without support (only a few short steps), but that hasn't stopped you from finding things to support you and let you get around - whether it is your toy designed to walk behind, a laundry basket that slides easily, the kitchen trash can, a box of diapers, or this morning you discovered that your highchair has wheels and you could push it through the kitchen, into the entryway, and then down the hall back to the dining room. You are so great!  And not only do you walk, you STEER - so you hardly ever get caught on things in your way, you just plant your feet, adjust the direction of your "walker" and keep pushing!  I can't wait to see when you actually walk!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck  -

Thanks for making long days at work all better!  I LOVE getting to come home and see you and mommy - you always make me happy, because you are always excited to see me - you smile, and grunt, and bounce, and crawl to me - all at once!  You sure know how to make someone feel loved!

I can't wait to see you when I come home in just a few minutes - today has been long, and I need a Breck-fix!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Thanks for cuddling with me on your bedroom floor this morning - even if it was just for a second!  :-)  You have never been super cuddly - - the excitement of the world around you has always held a stronger enticement than the desire to lay your head down - - but this morning (and quite a bit more over the last few weeks, to be honest) you have been willing to rest for just a second, and cuddle with me or mommy - so thanks for that!

We did get the big snow storm that was predicted - we got about 13", and there is about 18" on our back deck now from the blowing and drifting.  So, today I got to stay home with you and mommy!  We will play and have fun, and maybe venture outside for a minute?  Though you aren't a big fan of snowsuits, cold, and snow yet...

Hope you are having sweet dreams, as you are napping as I write!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Thanks for getting us up in the morning... If it weren't for you, I might sleep all day! Even though I am still usually (always) late to work, now it's because I like to spend time cuddling with you and mommy in bed, instead of just sleeping too long.

Today we are supposed to get a HUGE snow storm - there is a Blizzard warning, and we could get 10-14 inches.... Indiana already has gotten a lot of ice last night, so we will see if it makes it up here!

Here is a picture of you early this morning... you don't usually scowl, you actually are pretty smiley, but the flash was bright on my phone. Even if you only scowled, I would still love you tons!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

You have been here for just over a year, and I love being your dad! I am so thankful for you - but I don't have a great way of recording just how thankful I am. Your mommy is VERY good about her blog, but I haven't ever taken the time to keep one myself... Til tonight. I was reading another friends' blog, where everyday she (tries to) write a simple note to her son (who is just a little older than you!) telling him what she is thankful about him for. It inspired me.  So, I am going to try to do something kind of the same for you - so you always know just how much I LOVE you, and LOVE getting to be your friend and dad! So, I will start with notes to you, and as you have brothers and sisters (which is only a few months away), I will expand to them as well... I may not always have the best pictures, though I will try to get some - or steal some from mommy - but the point is going to be just to let you, and your future brother/sister(s) know how much I Love you!

I love you so much buddy! I can't wait to always be your best friend!

Love,

Dad
