A Note for My Daughter

One of the reasons I type these posts is so that down the road I can look back and see what is going on in our lives. So this post is for Lorelai. You, little girl, turned 1 this month! You also celebrated your first Christmas. Two weeks ago, you were still crawling around. Then one day last week, you seemed to wake with a purpose. You just started toddling around the house and since then you are just following your brother around! Im so proud everytime I watch your steady and determined steps. I know you recently turned 1 but Ive told your Daddy a couple of times, it didnt feel different. You have been following your brother close for a few months. Im pretty sure you think you're 2 just like him. I cant remember the last time you acted like an infant. Its a little hearbreaking to be losing both my babies at the same time. Im just so proud of how bright you are though. You have a little sense of humor that I love seeing come out. This week you have been pretty clingy but you had good reason. Two molars are peeking through making the total count 10 teeth now. To be honest its the first time you've made a fuss about teething, so I cant complain. Im just enjoying the extra cuddles and not getting much else done. For Christmas you go a lot of nice things. Santa brought you some girly toys so that your entire play time isnt Tonka trucks and HotWheels like it has been. Your grandparents seemed to have a blast shopping for you because you got a nice collection of adorable outfits. You are so loved! Anyway, I just wanted to write you a little something. Hoping in a few years, I can pull this up and let you see it. Then you can see how much you mean to me!
