What can I say the Kid Likes Pepsi! 7months 2 weeks 5 days

I am having the best time with you kiddo! Two days ago you were talking into the dog bell to hear your echo and laughing, and just yesterday you were playing with your toys in the middle of the front room all by yourself. The only problem is that if I watch you and you see me watching, then you want me to come play and you start fussing. :)

I am not able to rightly ascertain where your Pepsi affinity comes from. I am a Pepsi junkie it is true, but I don't think Pepsi addiction can be passed on can it? :) You are quite the little fan of the Pepsi tho. It's quite funny. I am sure you are just grabbing for the Pepsi because I am drinking it, but regardless it is still pretty cute. I even gave you your own Pepsi can out of the fridge to play with on the ground, but it didn't last long.

I know there are others who read this blog with some really cute kid stories. I would Love to hear them if you don't mind sharing.

A Little Melancholy

Even before I had my son I had thought about how little you actually influence the world. But staring at him somehow makes it so much more real. In 2 generations the only memory of me may be an old picture in a photo album that never gets opened.

Think about it...

Think about your great grandparents. Do you even know their first names? Did they think of the eventuality of you? Am I the only one who thinks about that?

Gavin, If you pass down any knowledge of me to your grandkids let it be that I loved your mother with every bit of my heart and ability, and love your wife the same.

To my forgotten forefathers Cuban and Italian who made our existance possible. Salud and Grazie.

More and More on my Mind

Last night I had a dream about you. It was strange because it was the first dream I can remember having with you in it where you interact with me. I think you were trying to talk, and I kept encouraging you to do so. I awoke happy, realizing it was the first such dream that I have had. Just 5 minutes ago I had an experience that was definitely a first, and prompted this post. I looked in the mirror and saw your face staring back at me, and I couldn't help but smile. Everyone says you look like your mommy, and I agree, but there is something there...Something "daddy" in your eyes, and I just saw it in the mirror, and it makes me happy. I love you son.

Love,
daddy
