#34 you thought he looked like me
Title: You couldn't wait to see your firstborn take his very first step, and you smiled at him 'cause you thought he looked like me.

I don't know a whole lot about babies, ignore the time line if it is unrealistic.
Walt tiptoes through the dark hall, thoughtlessly skirting the creaky floorboard. He leans in the doorway, not wanting to intrude. Ray doesn’t look up as he speaks, “I thought it was hard leaving you.”
Walt joins him. Arm sliding around waist. Gazing down at the crib. “I’ll write everything down. Everyday. Like you never missed a thing.”
Walt and Ray fall asleep curled together in the rocking chair. They wake up stiff. At least they spent this last night together. As a family.
A kiss on the lips for Walt. A kiss on the head for Logan. And then he is gone.

I don’t have the words to describe today. He called me “dada”. I always thought it was a stupid thing for people to get excited about. I was wrong. If you were here you would have laughed so hard. I was practically jumping up and down. I called my mom. I called your mom. She misses you.
I miss you. It hasn’t even been a week.
I got out Logan’s favorite picture of you. I pointed and said “mama”. I figure if I do this twice a day it will have stuck by the time you get back.
He didn’t try any new food today.
April 03
He slept through the night again. I almost wish he hadn’t. I could have used the company. The house is too quiet without you.
Tried to get him to eat peas again. Didn’t go over too well.
June 11
He stood up again today. Used the ottoman as support. He can almost balance. Your mom came to visit. She clapped every time he stood up. I couldn’t tell you who smiled more.
June 13
Logan took his first step! And his second. And then he fell down. I wish you could see this.
His hair is getting really long. You’ll like it. It’s the same color as yours.
June 28
I was changing his diaper and he peed all over me. He knew he did something wrong. There was this little evil grin. He looks just like you. He will always get away with everything.
When I showed him your picture today he said “mama” again! That’s never going to get old.
It’s really hot here. We went on a walk to your favorite ice cream place. I let Logan try some of my chocolate cone. I almost had to buy him his own.
I get to see you tomorrow. I can’t sleep. I’m going to curl up in Logan’s rocking chair. If I get close enough it might smell like you still.
A kiss on the lips for Walt. A kiss on the head for Logan. And then he is home.
