Dear Emilia,
Today was my favorite day of our life together. We woke up with the snow coming down and it didn't stop all day. Your cousin Fernando arrived on Wednesday so the party consisted of him, Ron, Bia, Alejandro, your mother, I and your cranky crazy self. The day started with a little bit of work, then shifted to a drive through snow covered streets watching people get stuck on the way to the liquor store. Your mother and I have a penchant for wine in the winter. Chef Ronaldo made ribs for lunch and the movie marathon began. You woke up a bit groggy, and were a bit sideways for half the day until you found your spirit when we put you in your bounce house. I thought you'd wear yourself out but you kept strong all day long. We watched the movie together and I tickled, bit and messaged your feet. You giggled through most of it or cried as your communication skills are lacking. That tongue of yours wags like a dog, sticking out all the time tasting as many things as you can get your hands on. You stole Alejandro's blanket then microphone which caused sever trauma and fierce pain, it is very difficult being Alejandro. You getting better at sitting up, gripping and your favorite way to convey your love is to pinch your momma's face, grab your daddy nose, and just be slap happy. Your arms flare up and down like a baby gorilla and your soul beats like a snare drum. You are perfect in so many ways with a few imperfections to boot. Your look amazing, I can't really say I love you more each day because it seems impossible to love you more than I already do. You make my and your mother's life full and we are so grateful for everything you do to us. Happy first snow day Miss Emilia, here's to a thousand more.
Love, Dad
