Dear Ms. Lydia:
This is your Dad; given that we encounter each other every night, you can rest assured I have not forgotten about you. Now that Mommy and Daddy are both working full-time, we’ve been a little busy. But we love you dearly…and you’re such a dear.
- You really are expressive with me. You like it when I smile at you and when I mouth words or sing to you. You do your squawk-laugh and kick your feet as hard as you can.
- You seem to have enchanted everyone who takes care of you. Your caretakers say you’re a very patient and pleasant girl who has a strong and healthy appetite. Well-done.
- You’re quite adorable. People often look at you and smile; I got tons of grins when I wore you one time at Kroger. Granted, I was using the wrong baby carrier and mom wasn’t too thrilled, but you liked the view and the people liked seeing you.
- You’re rolling over! You love your exer-saucer! We now strap you in your swing! In other words, you’re a mover and shaker. Your head control is darn near perfect and your head is beautifully shaped; no molding helmet for you. I have this sinking feeling that you will be an early crawler and walker. I’ve loved not having gates up everywhere…I guess I’ll have to put them back up.
- You seem to love your brother, though I think he also fascinates you. He loves grabbing your cheeks…but then you love watching him. You laugh at his movements and dancing!
Take care and I know we’ll write more soon.
