Picture of the Day: Tuesday

Dear Dad:
I know you'll only be at OSCON for a few days, but since this is your first trip away from me since I was born, I was worried that you might miss me. So Mama's helping me post a new picture of myself every day. I totally understand the ins and outs of Movable Type, it's just that my hand-eye coordination isn't quite up to snuff for using a mouse just yet, you know?

Love,
Bug

P.S.: I drank a whole bottle! I didn't like it, but I did it.

Dear Bug,

You think I might miss you? And here I am worried that you will forget me. That I will come home and you won't remember who I am, that you will cry and reach out for Mommy. "Mommy, mommy - who is this strange man? Hold me..."

I miss you sooo much. And I miss your Mom too. And do you know what I will miss tomorrow morning? Waking up tomorrow and seeing the two of you cuddling together.

I will miss singing "Boop-boop, diddem-daddem, waddem, CHOO!"

I will miss rocking you to sleep at night listening to the sound of the ocean or your favorite CD.

I will miss the sound you make right after a really big yawn.

I will miss the other sound you make right after you sneeze. Twice. Because you almost always sneeze twice.

I will miss taking you outside to help you stop crying - because taking you outside always chills you out.

I will miss you falling asleep on my chest in the Baby Bjorn while I walk to Peet's in the morning.

I will miss watching you smile on the changing table.

I will miss all the things I will miss because you grow so much every day.

I love you Harper, and I will be home soon.

Dad

Dad, you made Mama cry! She keeps telling me it's okay, she's crying because she loves you and she's happy that I have such a great dad. But I don't understand -- I thought crying was something you do if you're hungry, poopy, or tired. This world is so confusing. Promise to explain all of it to me when you get back home?

Love,
Harp

Awww! You guys! hehe :) I hope that your hubby has safe travels. I had my first trip without Lucas [this past weekend], and I cried four times. LOL! :) That's an adorable photo ~ kind of like he has his head in his hands and is saying, "OK, what's next?" :)
