Dear Breck -

It, again, has been FAR too long since I wrote... Thanks for being understanding (I guess right now, you don't even comprehend, but I am hoping that someday when you read this, you will be understanding!)

So, there have been lots of fun things you have been doing lately.  LOTS of walking!  Lots of "talking" on the phone (or actually, any object that is small enough to be held to your ear, markers, remote controls, blocks, even the occasional bobby pin!).  And you are so cute when you talk.  You say "O" for "Hello," and then you jabber on and laugh and grunt!  It is the best!

You also have been OBSESSED with ceiling fans and light fixtures on the ceiling.... Poppa taught you to say "Go" when he would spin the blades of his ceiling fan, and so now you are always say "go" when you see something on the ceiling.  Also, when we ask you what a ceiling fan says, you shake your head back and forth, and make a "Revving" noise... very cute.

So, all in all, you are just SO much fun!

Thanks for being the best!  I love you soooooo much!

love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Thanks for learning how to walk... it is GREAT!!  And, wow, you are walking EVERYWHERE!  It is amazing how fast it all started!  Tonight we even went to the mall to let you walk and play at the Breakfast Food Playground!  You sort of stumbled around for a few days, and now all of the sudden you are whizzing around like a pro!  You sure are cool!  You also are really seeming to pick up more words... granted they are still garbled, but they are there!  Today Mommy and I got to go have an ultrasound of Baby B².  It was SO COOL!  Though we can't tell yet if you are having a brother or a sister, you can see all the amazing little parts of the baby!  God sure is pretty amazing in the way he creates us!

Well, Mommy is putting you to bed, and that means we will be going soon also!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Thanks for the spontaneous kiss Sunday night!  That made my day!  I wasn't even expecting a kiss, I was just bending towards you tie your hat under your chin, and you just leaned right back, and gave me a great big kiss!  You certainly know how to make your daddy feel special!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

Dear Breck -

Sorry I haven't written in a few days - Mommy was sick with Food Poisoning, and it has just been a little busy!  Plus, I haven't made it a "habit" yet to blog daily.... I am working on it!

Today is Valentine's Day - truly one of the silliest holidays on the face of the planet!  I know, I know, it is all about telling someone you love them, but I don't need a special day, with lots of marketing and pressure for me to buy, in order for me to tell the people I love that I love them... Oh well... Your mommy and I do celebrate, just a little to make it fun, but we definitely don't go as over the top as some!

You have been taking more steps lately, and been even more cuddly!  I sure do love you, boy.... so, even though Valentine's isn't my favorite, I am glad that you (and your mommy, of course) are my valentines!

I love you buddy!

love,

Dad

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
