Dear Xander,

So far after my first week of being a dad, I have learned a lot. Like just how much I hate getting peed on and changing poopy diapers and burping babies. But it's amazing how you can instantly love something so much. Xander is already a very special boy. He makes us laugh and we love being together with him. I wasn't sure how we would adjust to being a family of three but so far it has been very fun and easy. Karalee does 90% of the work and I'm their for moral support. Which is good because she's the best mom already and I'm still trying to figure out just how to keep him alive. But he has been so fun and easy so far. He makes the cutest little faces and it's fun to think about what he's going to be like when he grows up. I talk to him like he's a big kid already. I hope get gets big and grows up quick. I can't wait to wrestle and hunt and play football with him. It's been a pretty cool experience so far and I know it's just going to keep getting better. 

love, Dad

Dear Xander, 

Well sweet boy, a month has gone by, My heart has grown bigger than I knew possible. Your sweet spirit has changed us forever, and I feel is blessed to call you mine💙 Your hands are always up by your face, you sleep best on your tummy, preferably on daddy's chest, you're a speed eater, you had your first hair cut, love your baths, grunt all day long, you are so calm and so alert. People often comment on your poochy lips. You're a great sleeper (5 hours!)  I will never forget these first 4 weeks-- cuddling you all day and all night. You have made me a mother and I'm the happiest I have ever been. Thank you sweet boy for being patient as we figure this out. We love you!

love, mom
