Hey Lucca,
This is the first email I’ve ever written to you. And it serves as a warning - there are many, many more behind this one as it’s taken you a while to learn how to read. : )
I am on a plane to Dallas, TX right now and miss you already … despite the fact that you screamed bloody murder the whole way to school this morning! Of course, once we got there, you just batted those bright blue eyes innocently at Miss Becky and everyone assumed Daddy was a liar.
It was hard to leave you this morning even though I’ll only be gone for a few days. I usually hang around for a few minutes every morning and hold you as long as you’ll let me, but I hung around a bit longer today. While we were there, you pulled up on the toy box for the first time for Miss Becky to see. She ran to get a camera (she loves you so much) but by the time she had come back, you had already knocked all the toys off the top and fell back on your butt. Then, you just looked up at Daddy and laughed.
Me and your Mom have never been happier than we’ve been these past nine months. You are the happiest baby and that smile just lights up our world.
See you soon. Love, Daddy.
