Conor Daniel does Blue Steel...

Day 28:

Today was a big day for Conor An Chroí Lion. It was a "boys" day! Mommy went out shopping so you and I sat on the couch and watched TV. It was such fun! In particular we watched a documentary about a favorite band of mine called, "The White Stripes". It's a two person band featuring Jack and Meg White. As we watched the show I thought to myself, "so this is what's meant by "Start 'em young"? Well, here's to hoping my taste in music wears off on you... With so much non-creative over-produced crap out there these days, Son, I'd just assume you start taking notice of anything from Johnny Cash to Jim Hendrix to Eric Clapton to the Black Keys. (As a rule of thumb, if there's a dance routine involved, turn it off) I digress...

That wasn't the half of it, Son. Mommy went out shopping and came home with your first pair of jeans! Boy'O, I can't wait 'til you can fit into them. Jeans are a quintessential staple in any man's wardrobe. You'll be no exception.

But then the real fun began... At 5:30pm Mommy invited a professional photographer to the house to do a shoot of you in these early and wonderful days... Her name is Melissa and she's clearly very good at what she does. She snapped off some amazing pictures of you, Conor! I couldn't believe how good you were through it all, Son. Well behaved and composed. Should I expect anything less? Of course, the photo shoot was primarily you in the buff, which meant it was only a matter of time until you pee'd on somebody... Just so happened that somebody was me! I didn't mind. Not at all... But where it got funny was when you pee'd on Mommy about a half hour later! She was holding you at her chest and you of course released the fury straight upward - hitting Mommy in the chin and all the way down to her feet! I could barely contain myself, Conor. It was everything I could do to make it to the kitchen I was laughing so hard!

Anyhow, the photo shoot was a success... The photographer said you were the cutest subject she's shot in as long as she could remember, and I believed her... You're such a handsome boy, Son. Conor the Lion Heart. Conor the Handsome.

I love you, Conor. Always.
