Dancing eyes

Hey B,

Last night was really great. You have really changed in a short few weeks. Seeing you and your daddy walk across that hotel lobby was exciting. Seeing my D caring my little buddy was heartwarming and satisfying. To see your daddy caring a six month old baby doesn't make me feel old, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. In a sense, it makes me feel that me and Jadda did something good as parents. (Both my sons make me feel that way). And I know that your Opa and Oma feel the same way about your mommy. Your parents are really good parents. You know how I know that? Because I could see it in your eyes as you watch them. Yesterday, when I held you I watched you watch your mommy and daddy and I could see your eyes dance for them. After a while of me holding you, I could see you eyes long for them. With all the things we did together in two hours, seeing your reaction to mommy and daddy was the most gratifying. They are awesome, aren't they?

And you are soooo active. A constant ball of energy!! You remind me of your Uncle Wookie (Z for most folks) at that age. He was constantly moving. You remind me of your daddy with your look of determination when you see something you want and you do the intense low crawl to get it. There wasn't much your daddy couldn't do when he was determined. And you look so much like your beautiful mommy.

I also enjoyed you falling asleep on my shoulder as we walked to dinner. I got to eat all my salad and half my dinner with you asleep in my arms. Man, I loved that so much. And the minute you woke up, you wanted mommy.

I really enjoyed seeing you and daddy and mommy playing together. The little dance that they do together that makes you smile and cackle is so funny. One day when you are older and see that on DVD (or whatever it is by then) you'll roll your eyes and think how silly they look. And they do, BUT it is sooo funny. You have become the joy of their lives, and rightly so.

As much fun as I had yesterday, seeing the pure joy with you three was the best. Thanks for yesterday!!! And I'll see you Saturday. I'll see what kind of trouble I can get us into. Can't wait to see those dancing eyes.

pops!
