EIGHT WHOLE MONTHS

  
to my sweetest madelyn, 

i cannot believe how much you have grown. i still feel like it was just yesterday we were in the hospital snuggling with you soaking in all your beauty. you have brighten our lives so much and make our smiles bigger and brighter. 

in the last month you have become quite chatty and vocal. you are almost to the point where we think you have said "mama and dada" but you haven't said it enough to believe it. you still show no interest in attempting to crawl, you rather sit up or stand (with help of course). you love your walker and have pretty much mastered how to move around, we just love to watch you. you move fast in that thing that sometimes we can't get out of your way quick enough before you're running over our toes. you love to chase your brother, jager and back him into corners attempting to pet him. you are eating better everyday by yourself and i can't help but feel proud when i watch you. {i still have every intention on writing a baby led weaning post about our experience, so coming soon.} your two top teeth are beginning to come through which has provided some interesting and restless nights. it breaks my heart to know there isn't much i can do to help you with the pain but there has been lots of cuddling and kisses. you have learned to clap and do it often when you ba noi (my mother-in-law) sings you a song. you now give me kisses that just melt my heart. your daddy and i love watching you grow everyday and we talk often about how your little personality is developing into a sweet girl. 

i love you to the moon and back my sweet baby girl. 

love, your mommy
