Today was one of those "day of firsts" Son. Today was a day when you, for no apparent reason, just suddenly began to laugh! It was bar none the sweetest thing I'd ever heard... And in fact it came after I'd startled you with a clap. In simply clapping to get for attention, you immediately started giggling the likes of what neither Mommy and I have ever heard. And it was great in a way I can't explain. Just another big, huge step that, in a few weeks, will be just a memory as you'll be giggling all the time, but today it meant everything.
Your Uncle Doug came over and we all sat on the back deck drinking copious amounts of really, really good wine. It was such the beautiful night, Conor. And you were just as happy to join us until you couldn't keep your little eyes open any longer and off to bed you went.
Though to start the day, I have to say, I was most impressed with your exuberance! If only I could carry that level of excitement into my work day, I may even be an overwhelming success. Alas no. I only feel that way when I see you smile - just like you did there.
I love you, Son. Always and forever and completely unfailing. I love you.
-Dad
