first and foremost,

happy birthday

gummi bear.

I am so excited for you baby, I know she has to be such a little beauty

I don't think this year could have started any better than with her making her grand appearance the first week of the year. This year is about to be a roller coaster for sure with so many changes

but I just wanted to reassure you of a couple of things

1. You are an incredible man

2. You are full of so many untapped ted lesso-esque dad jokes

3. You are actually pretty cool

4. You are the best listener

5. Your awkwardness makes me love you more

6. You in dad mode makes me fall deeper in love with the man you are

7. You are really fckn sexy

8. You have the best heart

9. You make life better and worth it

10. You are going to be the most compassionate, loving, and amazing girl dad.

I know this is going to be a different relationship than you have with the boys, and that she didn’t come into this world in the most ideal way…

but she is here.

And everything is going to be okay. I know you are probably obsessed with her already, and that your bond with her will only get better over time. I am so excited to see you with her, a softer side of you is going to surface. No matter what…I am here with you, by your side, however, and whenever you need me.

Enjoy your time with her, and take moments in and soak them up with her.

I love you so much baby. I am so happy for you.

phase 10 always.
