Day 39:
Today was the coldest day of the Winter thus far, Conor. With temperatures in the high 20's all day the only thing to do was stay inside... After I scraped off an inch of ice and snow from the cars and the driveway I came back in for a good huddle with you on the couch.
Unfortunately for me I somehow pulled a muscle in my back and was all but crippled throughout the remainder of the day. Though fortunately for me I have you, so all I could do was break out the heating pad, apply it to my back, and lay down on the couch with you across my chest for the better part of 90 minutes. A fair exchange to be sure. A pain in my back for 90 minutes of snuggle time with my boy? I'll take that every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Otherwise it was a relatively quiet and mundane day. Later in the afternoon we packed up and headed over to Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Paul's house. Big Nate was so excited to see you, he even tried to help feed you! We all think you guys are going to be great friends. As will you be with the soon-to-join-the-world Landers 2.0; Uncle Paul and Aunt Jennifer's second baby... Your little cousin is only a few months away! You should never be short of playmates, Conor.
Everyone is so pleased with how you're growing, Son. It's so evident by the pictures I post every day. It's even helpful to me to see you in this format! It's a reminder of just how far you've come in your 5 weeks on this Earth... And we're just getting started, Boy'O.
A toast to Conor the Lion Heart! Conor An Chroí Lion... Thanks for warming up my day, Boy'O. I needed it. Truly.
Love you, Son.
-Dad
