Dear Matty,
You are 10 months old now... I can't believe how fast you are growing. It seems like just yesterday that you were just laying there in your crib, super defenseless and just practicing opening your eyes... Now look at you! You have taken your first steps, learned how to clap, you can say Mommy and Daddy, your front teeth came in (causing some sleepless nights for mommy and sometimes daddy). You stop doing something when Daddy says "No, No, No Matty boy" while having a really sweet smile on your face the whole time. Your Daddy has learned how to change diapers, how to make a bottle in less than 30 seconds, and to feel how amazing it is when you fall asleep in his arms.
Matty, you make your daddy so happy when you crawl over him and wrestle around on the ground. It makes me wish that you could grow up a little quicker just simply to have more fun with you! Well, let me think about that for a sec, you are so sweet now and I can't help but just thank God for all the blessings he has given us adding you to our lives. Yeah, stay little and sweet for as long as you can. I love being able to rock you to sleep still far to much. I am looking forward to teaching you all the fun stuff that goes along with being a boy though. I can't wait to show you how to swim, how to fish, how to pick up the little garden snakes and sneak them in to show Mommy... Really everyday I think of something that we are going to have fun doing together my son.
So here it is my little Matty boy, I love you so very much. You have already enriched my life to limits that I couldn't have fathomed before you. You have singlehandedly made me a better man my son. I hope that some day the gift of fatherhood can be yours as well (but not to soon.. haha). I will always have a special place in my heart for you Matty, my first born son. You are just a baby now but you have already made your Father so proud, think of all that is to come!
Always
Dad
