Love You!

Hi Bracken,

I am going to be working some nights and Saturdays the next couple weeks. I worked my first evening tonight and although it was only about 2 hours later then I usually see you, I missed you. I got home and you were playing with dad in our room. Soon as you saw me you smiled and was talking up a storm! You crawled right over to me and climbed up me and smiled and hugged me. It was so cute. I could tell you were happy to see me! It just made my day. You make me feel so loved! I hope I make you feel as loved as you make me feel!

Thanks!

Love,

Mom

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi B,

Today is your first Thanksgiving! I am so excited to share it with you! We usually go around to Thanksgiving dinner at All of your grandparent's houses and visit with all sides of our family, but this year they are all at the same time so we are going to take it easy and spend it with your Nana and Papa Fratto. They are having a big dinner at their house. We may go visit Grandma Maez and my aunts and cousins, but not sure yet.

This Thanksgiving I am so thankful. I am mostly thankful that I have had the opportunity this year to become a mom and to have you in my life. It is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love being your mom! I hope to fill your life with happiness and teach you how to be thankful for everything we have.

I love you so much B!! Have a wonderful first Thanksgiving!!

Love,

Mom

P.S. You are still too little to eat most of the food, but I will try to give you as much food as I can, since that is such a great part of Thanksgiving. I will also let you try the Oreo Pie! MMMMM my favorite!

Catching Up

Dear B,

Hi baby. I have so much to catch up on. I haven't written to you for a while and you are getting so big! Here are some of the fun things you can do:

1. Say Mama and Dada. You technically said dada first but when you said it you didn't understand what dada was. I am thinking now you are starting to understand what both dada and mama mean. It is so cute when you say, "mama mama mama" and I grab you and you stop. So adorable!

2. You are crawling fairly well. You can crawl 4-8 "steps" before you fall and start army crawling.

3. You make all sorts of funny noises in your mouth! You growl, gurggle and pant like a dog.

4. YOu can stand your self up and try to do this on EVERYTHING!

5. I can now spike and mohawk your hair. It is so cute!

6. You can wave hi and bye to people, when you want. You can, but don't always do it.

7. We have started you on a reading program and you seem to like to watch it. You don't like to read the books or do the reading cards, but you do like the video.

I love you B! Stop growing up so fast! I am going to miss this time!

Happy Halloween

Dear B,

Hi son. You were so cute last night. We didn't go trick-or-treating because you are much too small to be eating candy. We dressed you up, though. You were cute. Then you answered the door with us and helped pass out candy. You were in a great mood and I think overall you had a great first Halloween. Here are some pictures. You made a cute monkey!










Love,

Mom
