Just Being a Big Guy

You’re just getting so big, man.

That’s my hat you have on, and for whatever reason, you decided it was yours for the day. You kept it on for probably an hour, just running around your room, completely happy with yourself.

You crack me up.

One of my favorite things about watching you grow is seeing your personality come out more and more. You’re funny, curious, stubborn, sweet, and somehow always finding new ways to make me laugh. Even the smallest things - like you running around in my hat - end up being moments I want to remember forever.

I know someday that hat is probably going to fit you for real, which is a little hard for me to think about right now.

For now, though, I’m just going to enjoy watching you run around in it.

I love you to the moon, buddy. More than you’ll ever know.

Love, Dad
