It was a pretty light and easy Saturday, Conor. And actually, I was so fortunate to be able to spend some real quality time with you, Boy'O... Like, just me and you! Early this morning Mommy got up to head to the car dealership to deal with a tire problem. MeMeow was feeding you but you didn't seem to want to take the bottle so after a few bounces, a burp, and a small crying fit I found you to be hungry again. Spending time with you, whether it be feeding you or otherwise, is as good as it gets, Son. All the small expressions, each cocked eyebrow, furrowed brow, and lip pout is all starting to mean something and of course, the longer I sit with you the more I understand...
After getting you fed this morning it was time for a change of both diaper and clothes. After getting you all sorted out we started collecting ourselves for lunch out with Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Paul, Nathan, and Andrew. The timing was such that when your Mother returned home we were all but ready to roll again, and so off we went to the Mad Fox. Lunch was nice... Good conversation, old memories, new plans. Plans with you and the Landers boys. Plans with MeMeow and Grandpa K9. Just good conversation.
Lunch was short lived, though with an 18 month old (Nathan) who needs a nap to keep his energy up, that was to be expected. So back to the house we went. Upon returning home and with nothing else on the radar, everybody decided to take a nap! Everybody except me and you. Yep, instead we sat on the couch watching the Nationals vs. the Cubs. Our first baseball game! Kinda monumental considering baseball was the sport I grew up playing... Anyhow, during that time I could hardly watch the game. For you were the most awake of any of us! Once again kicking and coo'ing and chirping those little boy noises. We must have played for an hour before we were both just through... I picked you up, laid you on my chest, and off to sleep we went, Son. The Lion Heart loves nothing more than the sound of a heartbeat as he snoozes away the afternoon. And who am I to deny you that?
All in all the day was spent loving on you, Son. Me, Mommy, MeMeow, Grandpa K9, Uncle Paul and Aunt Jennifer... Even Nathan got in for a little snuggle action with you! You're so loved, Son. And to be sure, you can never get to much love.
Speaking of, I suppose this is a good time to tell you I love you. And I can't tell you enough.
G'Night, Boy'O...
-Dad
