Dear Button,

Today is the first of November. It is your first November, your 12th day of life, and you had your first Halloween. You slept through it last night, but Clementine and I dressed up and gave out candy to the visitors.

I may look cute, but I am not amused.

Right now you are nestled with me on the Moby wrap. You have just fed so Mommy and Boo are in bed trying to get some before-midnight sleep. Grammy Diann and Grandpa Chuck are in bed now, too. I’m going to finish this and work on some AP Statistics. This is the end of week #2 of my paternity…4 weeks left. This has been a wonderful little love nest we’ve made together just taking care of you with an occasional outing. Your needs are so few but very frequent and specific. We’re also trying to give you some tummy time and skin to skin time every day.

Our little family with all the grandparents.

Halloween 2013. We had many neighborhood kids stop by…ghosts, cartoon characters, LEGO characters, a “smarty pants” (he had Smarties candies taped to his trousers) and a Daft Punk pair.

Love, Daddy
