My Kenny,

You are so adorable and perfect right now.

In the last week or two, you have gone from sweetly saying “da-da” when you want me to being able to squawk “DA-DA!” with the urgent tone of a toddler.

And you are 17 months right now. 17 months, going on 7 years..

Over Easter this last weekend, you played with your cousins like you were just one of the bunch.

I mean, you were in there grabbing for sandbox toys beside an 8-year-old.

The most adorable thing right now though is you saying the word “tissue.”

Anytime you sneeze, you will stop, point to your nose, and say:

“Ti-Tu.”

My heart.

My sweet girl.

I love you.

-Dad
