Dear Lydia,
Hello my dear little one! You are napping right now as your brother is running around playing with his toys! Mommy has been very busy working on Christmas gifts lately, but I wanted to sit down and write you a little letter letting you know everything you have been busy doing this past month! First of all, you are getting so big! We were not able to get you in for your 2 month appointment, so it won't be until next month for your 4 month that we'll be able to see exactly how much you weigh and how tall you've gotten, but everyone can tell that it is a lot! You are such a big girl and so in love with your life!
You are full of smiles ALL the time, and in the past month you have really began to love to play! You will spend a good thirty minutes to an hour several times a day on your activity mat hitting your toys, grabbing and moving them around, laughing, "talking", and smiling at your Mr. Octopus toy, your bug rattle toy, and the baby in the mirror! Mommy loves bringing scrapbook stuff down on the floor by you, and as you play, I have fun scrapping all of your cute pictures! Your big brother, Daniel, loves to help with whatever he can and keeps you very entertained by making sure you always have plenty of toys around you to play with! And, even though sometimes he will accidently kick you or drop something on your head, you still love him and at least you don't seem to remember for long! Hopefully he will learn soon that he has to be a bit more gentle with you!
You began laughing a few weeks ago and we love to hear you giggle and laugh at us! This morning I was kissing you over and over and over and each time I did, you would laugh really big! You were too cute! :o) I love you SOOO much, little girl!
You love to sleep, which is quite the blessing! For your three naps during the day, you usually sleep in your swing, but you'll also sleep fine while being held, or you love lying down on Mommy and Daddy's comfy bed! Since you still haven't rolled over yet, we are able to put you on that with pillows all around, but enjoy it while you can because I'm thinking you might be rolling over really soon! Ever since you turned 2 months you have been sleeping a good 10 to 12 hours a night, which is absolutely amazing!
Lydia, you had such a wonderful month! We took our long road trip to Kansas and Texas to see your extended family and you had a great time meeting your great-grandparents and lots of great aunts, uncles, and cousins! You did amazing in the car, and even though we were in so many new places you still slept great and seemed as happy as can be being with our little family! :o) We also had Thanksgiving, which we celebrated with both your daddy's family and your mommy's. That was a lot of fun and even though you really wished you could have had some of the yummy food, you still had fun watching everyone and being held and talked to. You LOVE the Christmas tree and all the lights in our home. You try to reach out and touch all the lights and especially like them when it's night and we turn off the rest of the lights in the house.
We love you so much!
~Mommy
