Letters to Hope

You are so cute I can not get over it you this month have become so much more lively. You talk and make noise all the time about everything: when you eat, when you are playing, when you are in the tub, just constant humming or raspberries or screeching. You are just the funniest little girl.

Hope: Happiest Baby Ever

I am so happy you are such a happy baby.

You get mad, too, at stuff and that is even cuter. You start waving your arms at everything but especially when you are mad. You have this look of COME ON ALREADY.

You wake up with this big smile and start poking us and playing with my lips you try to open my eyes and you laugh at your dad the most. Every time you see him you get all shy and peak at him and then start to laugh and jump up and down. You like it when he plays rough with you and throws you up in the air. You are too cute.

Pizza Crust and Bananas

Eating is getting fun. You love pizza crust and your favorite is banana. You can eat a whole banana with no problems. It is funny when I give you something that you do not like you just WILL NOT open your mouth and you look away and you just hate it and won’t look at me. But then when I give you something you like you eat and eat and eat.

Baby Massage Class

I took a baby massage class with you and you where a crazy woman you you where way to interested in crawling all over the place (or I should say scooting you do not crawl yet) you where looking at all the other babies and jumping up and down and all around to do stuff.

Everyone at the place LOVED you and you where so sweet. I learned how to do the massage and sometimes when you are super tired you let me do it but most of the time you are just WAY too busy. HA!

We bought you this walker thing and I was so worried about buying it for you because I had heard such bad things about it but we just keep it in the living room and you love it. You walk yourself all over the place you grab stuff and just are amazing. You are everywhere. You walk backwards and forwards. It only took you like 20 minutes to figure it out you don’t even really get stuck.

Hope: Smartest Baby Ever

You are so smart. You are I think the smartest and cutest and most loved kid in the whole entire universe. We are so happy to be your mom and dad.

OH OH yea! You say ‘UP UP UP UP UP UP’ when you want to get up . Can you believe that you at seven month old know exactly what you want and it is UP or GO but you have not said that one yet.

Another Hurricane in Palm Beach Gardens

OH yea we had another hurricane and you and I went to Chee Chee’s for the first time. You did very well there and everyone loved you. It was colder there so you got to wear all your warm outfits. It took us a long time to get there but it was worth it in the end.

Hope: Yeastiest Baby Ever

You also developed thrush which is a type of yeast infection in your mouth. We have been working to get rid of it and if it is not all the way gone soon I am taking you to the doctor. I had a bad diaper rash. The first one you have ever gotten but we worked real hard on it and it went away. Thank goodness. You sleep in your crib most nights but in the morning you still come in to sleep with daddy and me. Which, I have a feeling, like me and my mom you will do even when you are 30.

Pizzeria Sold: Daddy Home Much More

We also sold the Pizzeria so daddy will be home a lot more and will be able to spend a lot of time with you! We are so happy that we can do that with you and we hope it stays like this forever.

You have graduated to a big girl car seat and although it faces the other way until you are one you still seem much more comfortable. And you enjoy the car seat much more.

Hope: Best Soon-To-Be-Teeth Ever

Hey… I felt your first tooth coming in at lunch today. It is the bottom right and I also felt a little of the top right too but I think the bottom will come in first. My little girl is getting so big. So far teething is not that bad. You have only been cranky maybe five times in your whole life so far but I am sure there will be more days to come.
