Dave Hanson

When we think of birthdays, we tend to think in terms of our own, when we turn a year older, when we celebrate your life. But then you meet your person and suddenly celebrating their birthday is celebrating every moment you’ve gotten to have together and you can’t help but be grateful that you get to spend more with them. She is amazing. Insatiable. Irreplaceable. Iridescent. A wonder. A muse. A dream. A powerful intelligent strong independent beautiful but doesn’t need me to say she is woman. And she’s been a mom for 4 weeks and is absolutely crushing it. We met for afternoon drinks at a French cafe on the upper east side of Manhattan. Now we’re married with a baby boy. Can’t wait for this next year with you. Happy birthday! I love you @melissa.a.ruiz They’re all good days with you.

One month. I have so many more thoughts and I’m completely speechless at the same time. The world feels different now that you’re here, little man. Everything has shifted. I’m overjoyed and honored to see more of your personality and curiosity, flourish. Your dad and I love you so much. Thanks for making us parents. Thanks for picking me to be your mom. @annetteladoula Thank you for your unending support, education, and real talk when I needed it. Checking in with you made me more confident in the delivery room. And let’s not forget your perfectly timed, “All Out!” And @the_dave_hanson thanks for letting me almost break your finger during delivery. He’s pretty cute so I’d say it was worth it. 😘

New headshots alert! Thank you @toddestrinphotography

A whole week!

We made a human! To everyone who has given us love, support, advice, baby gear and food- thank you! You have no idea (or maybe you do) how much that has meant to us. Love, Dave, Melissa, Emiliano & Gus Lyrics by dad
