Just say it. I love you. Easy as that.

Tell him...OFTEN but that alone won't "drive the point home" I can tell you 50 times a day that I love you...but if that's the only way it's being expressed it gets to where it's simply white noise.
SHOW him as often (or more often) that you love him, hugs, kisses, let him see when he makes you proud (explain to him what he's done to make you proud), smile often, spend special one on one time doing what he wants to do, learn what it is that he likes to do, remember it...watch for it to change (because it will!), talk to him...and really LISTEN to what he's telling you, plan a special movie night where you cuddle up with popcorn under a blanket watching "Cars" or whatever movie he wants to watch, plan a campout in the living room, complete with sleeping bags, snacks and your undivided attention, let yourself be silly with him.
I could list a million things here...they may all work for me and our sons...but not for you and yours, gauge his reaction...if he's not liking what's going on, find out why, and work with the information.
As long as you really love your son, feel it, and show him every chance you get, he'll know that he's loved. I tell my little guys that I don't want them to wonder for even a minute how much I love them.
Hope some of this helps...I realize it's a long answer, and not everything in this list needs to be done (nor is this list in any way complete...trust me!!) it's not meant to overwhelm you, it's meant to offer you some suggestions.
Good luck, it's awesome to see a guy so concerned about making sure his son knows how much his Dad loves him, more guys could stand to be like you. The fact that you took the time to ask speaks volumes!
Kudos!

My son is still a toddler, but since the day he was born, I made it a point of hugging and kissing him and saying "I love you". I'm sure some of that will change as he gets older and doesn't want mom embarrassing him, but I'll never stop saying it. We also play and wrestle and tickle and I take the time to do whatever he wants for a little while every day.

My son is 9 months old. I tell him I love him and I hug, kiss and snuggle with him. I give him big smiles. These are all ways to show that you love someone.

Just exactly that way! Why does it have to be difficult to express your feeling of your son. Just say it. It shouldn't have to be difficult to say that to your son... No offense but it is pretty sad and immature to have to make it a hard and wonderous thing. You just say you should have always said it on hellos and good-byes... what is wrong with families these days?

Start with the words. Then, remember that actions speak louder than words. Be dependable, make sure you're always there for him. Spend time together, and talk. Play with him. Tell him often how much you love him. They don't listen when they're young, but he'll remember when he grows up. lol

Same way I tell my daughters. "I know this is all mushy, but I want you to know that I love you!" But actions speak louder then words, sometimes you just need to show them that they are loved.
