Today is my little girl’s first birthday. Wow. I’ve been thinking of what I wanted to say to commemorate this occasion for awhile now but for some reason just get too emotional. This time last year, Wonderwife was at the hospital 3 weeks before the due date for a routine baby check-up when the doctor said she was ready to go. At 7:37PM, little Daphne changed our lives forever.
The first thing I saw of her was the gorgeous, brown hair and then when I saw the rest of her I cried. Profusely. Already I was a proud father and could not be happier. If possible, I love Wonderwife even more for bringing us Daphne.
The past couple of months have seen amazing change in her when she started walking around 9 months, starting to talk (overjoyed when I walked in and she said "Hi da-da"), has become more social including flirting with the preacher’s 4 yr old kid, and has even started kicking/dribbling a soccer ball around the living room!
Daphne Veronica: your mother and I love you very much and we are overwhelmed with happiness that you bring to us. Happy birthday!
