Divorce

Dear B,

I wish you were old enough for me to talk to about everything that is going on. You seem to notice a change around the house and are probably picking up on my moods and behaviors. Your father and I have decided to get divorced. Everything is taken care of and completed. That doesn' tmean that either one of us love you any less. You are the best thing that happened to both of us and we both love you so much!

Right now we are still living in our house and you and I will be here until we can sell it. Then I hope to find a townhome for us to live in.

I am doing my best to be a good mom during this time. I have been super busy and it has been hard managing everything that is going on, but I want you to know that I love you so much and our lives will settle down soon. I try to spend eery minute I can with you and try to make you laugh often.

More than anything, I want you to know that you are loved and you always will me. By myself and by your dad. You are amazing and such a blessing to both of us!

Love you,

Mom

Teeth

Hi B,

You now have two teeth on the top that look like fangs, with no middle teeth, and one on the bottom in the middle! Keep those teeth coming so we can start feeding you more kinds of food! Looks like your other two top ones will be in soon!

Love Mom

Finally!

Dear B,

You FINALLY have a tooth! It is the upper right lateral incisor - simply, the second tooth over. Most babies get their front bottom teeth first, then their upper front teeth, but you didn't follow that order. I am so excited about your tooth though. Soon you will be able to eat all sorts of other foods! Your other incisor is also about to poke through. Maybe this explains the last 3 crappy nights of sleep. I hope so.

Love you so much!

Love,

Mom

On This Day

Dear B,

On this day, I am most thankful for you! You made me a mother and are my reason to celebrate today. I had no idea how much I was going to love you, or that it was even possible to love you so much. I am so proud to be your mom and so happy that you are in my life. we have quite the journey to take together and I wouldn't ask for anyone else to be there to take this journey with me.

You are my number one!

Love,

Mom

Mastered Stairs

Dear B,

Hi honey. I am proud to say that you have mastered going down the stairs! You figured it out one day and have just been going strong ever since! You also have been talking a lot. You say ball, papa, bye-bye, hi, mama, dada, kitty, dog (well you TRY to say dog) see, what's that, hello and have said many more words but a lot of times you only say them once then never again. Words like: bath, kiss, and thirsty. You play and walk fast and climb all over your bikes. You like to throw rocks and you can climb up on small chairs and toys. I often find you sitting in your toybox. I can't believe how fast you are growing!

Don't grow up to fast!

Love,

Mom
