Zebastian!!!

You’re 1 one year old already. Damn I can’t believe it. You had a good day and we’re loved by everyone. I don’t remember if I cried or not but I’m sure I got a little teary eyed just because you’re so special to mommy and I. You slept in and woke up around 9am which was cool because I got to wake up and get a coffee before you woke up. 

As soon as you opened up those little eyes I grabbed you and gave you a big hug and a kiss and sang you happy birthday!! You smiled like always and then we went into the hallway where I grabbed the camcorder and recorded your reactions to the balloons on the floor that were for you. You played a little and then had some cream of wheat which is one of daddy’s favorites. 

You had a chill day overall, mommy and daddy wanted to make sure you slept on time and ate on schedule so it was good. Mommy and daddy didn’t really know what to do as you are still in our eyes tiny and fragile and we didn’t wanna take you to Disneyland as we were planning because you might not enjoy it or have a good experience but it’s prolly us as your parents being paranoid. 

We had cake which you got hyper with and had a lot of energy later but it was definitely good to see you smile and have all this positive energy. A year ago you were in the NICU and we were scared because we didn’t know what was going to happen. 

All in all papa it was a good day. On the 14th we went to Santa Cruz and got some Acai bowls which you ate and then came home and that’s really it. I’m going to go back to work on Thursday and I’m going to enjoy these next few days with you since it won’t be like this till Christmas break. 

You are twice today and we went on a short walk and I plan on doing that again once you wake up. I’m all over the place today but I think you can figure that out by now. 

I love you papa,

Daddy
