Daily update #2

Dear Alessandra,

Today you spent all day with me. You must be getting tired of me. Even though it doesn’t seem like you are, but I have a feeling if I spent all day with myself I would begin to get tired of me. Today was a good day. The night before you, mom, and I hung out pretty much the whole night and watched some TV til’ you fell asleep. Watching you sleep is always fun, because you are very difficult to put to sleep. You think play time is always and bed time is never. Though I can see where you get it from. I mean look at me. I’m here writing a blog post about your day when I should be sleeping. You know how I am though. I dislike sleep and rather gain more knowledge.

When you woke up today you woke up with a smile. As always. I love when we all wake up feeling good. Even though I woke up to a pretty bad dream I realized that it was just a dream and watching you and mom smile at me made my day much brighter. Unfortunately mom couldn’t hang out with us as much as we would have wanted but that’s okay. After you woke up I fed you since you’re a silly little hungry hippo and that’s when our day began.

Around 2pm I checked twitter while you were hanging out with grandma for a bit. I was saddened to see what one of the trending topics of the day was. #RIPLaylaGrace was the third top trending topic for all of twitter. At first I glanced over it and had no idea what it was about, but shortly after I recalled mom was reading her blog about her illness. It really struck me and made me realize how fortunate we are to have a healthy baby. It saddened me deeply because I can only help but to imagine how the Grace family is feeling. I remember when you, mom, and I had to spend nights at the hospital so you could get better. I cannot imagine how they were able to cope with it. My condolences sincerely go out to them. When you grow older and are able to understand more about her illness I suggest you read her blog http://laylagrace.org – hopefully it’ll be up. This part of my post really and dearly goes out to them.

After reading the tweet regarding her I told myself that I need to cheer up and spend time with you. We did. We played entirely the whole day, which is nothing new as you and I love playing around and running after each other. Even though you can’t run/walk yet but you know what I mean, or at least you’ll know what I mean one day. Shortly after playing for a bit you and grandma went out to Target and Costco to buy some things. Most of which were for you. You came back and we went back to playing with your new toy. This was pretty much how our whole day went, amor.

Mom came home around 8pm and you were happy to see her, as always. We hung out and played with you as we watched MTV’s Teen Mom, and talked about dear Layla Grace. As of right now you and mom are sleeping, as you should be since it is close to being 4:00 in the morning.

Love,
Dad & Mom (who is sleeping, lol)

ps – you’re getting older.
