Dear Lizzie Sue,
Today you are 7 weeks old. I'll be honest, Daddy has a hard time with this whole weeks old, half a week old, 6 weeks and 2 days and 7 hours old...I'm much. more of a month and a half, or 2 months on the 24th. On a totally different note I want to let you know something and then ask you a question. Since Mommy has the right parts to do the whole feeding thing, changing diapers has become my job. Every time you wake up in the middle of the night to eat, I wake up to change you before mommy feeds you..I just wanted you to know I'm doing my part as your father. With t hat said, I have a question for you. How come you can lay there totally still while I take the old diaper off and clean you up and the moment I go to put a new diaper on you turn into one of the rockettes practicing your kick line? Of course if this lands you a future job as a rockette, keep it up...if not please help daddy out at 3am and stop kicking...Thanks!
In 7 weeks you've already had many first...and i'm not talking about all those fun ones like the first time you lift your head up or your first smile...i'm talking about the beer drinking, men burping, tv watching, football fan important firsts. You've watched your first steelers game (read as slept through), you've watched your first post season steelers game (read as slept through again), and you've watched your first supperbowl game, more importantly it was a superbowl with the steelers in it, and most importantly the steelers won!!!! Ok fine you slept through most of this game as well, but you were there! I know there are old wives tales about being born under a full moon or with an eclipse or a comet in the sky, yet I think being born in time to watch Big Ben throw a superbowl winning touch down pass to Santonio Holmes with less than a minute to go in the 4th quarter has to be some omen for you being a die hard steelers fan!!! Maybe you'll get a job working for the steelers and work at bumping up Daddy's name on the season ticket list.
This past sunday Grammie Sue and Gramps showed up to spend a whole week with you in VT. This was the first time they got to see you(their first grandchild) in person since facebook pictures and youtube don't count. Needless to say they were both wicked excited to hold you, love you, play with you, love you, feed you, love you, change you, love you, bathe you, love you, spoil you, and love you. In case you are a little slow on the uptake...they really really love you!!! Seeing Gramps wrap you up in his big arms and baby talk with you is awesome. Just last night he was holding you and giving you a bottle. He said "wow you are loud eater and all you do is sleep, fart and eat....just like me. Guess I'll have to teach you how to play cards just like me too!" I don't know about you but Daddy is excited for the day to see you sitting at a table playing card games with Gramps. Also Grammie Sue has been a life saver this week. Mommy just started going back to work in the afternoon and nights so instead of Daddy being all alone and totally lost, Grammie Sue has been around to help. There a few more days/nights work of Grammie Sue and Gramps's visit to go including your baptism and you meeting your God-parents too. Don't worry Daddy will write all about.
We Love you,
~Daddy
