Letters to Hope

It has been a little while since I have written and so much has happened in that short time.

• I am getting ready to change jobs and also look for a new Nanny for you.
• We have bought a piece of land in Ocala which will hopefully make your future brighter.
• We went to NY for Christmas and you where the best little girl ever.

What You Have Learned So Far

You are learning so much and growing so fast I wish that I could stay home and see you all the time. You where great on the plane and had no problems even though you are a very busy baby who wants to GO GO GO and loves a lot of attention. You learned ‘SOOO BIG’ and also grew two new teeth all at once. You now have two on the bottom and two on the top and, man, are they SHARP. You also leaned how to CLAP HANDS and are becoming an expert at PEEK-A-BOO.

Your Future College Fund

You received a lot of gifts from your family and lots of money. I am putting it all in your account and writing in your bank book to show you how much you are getting. You are gonna be a rich girl, I hope.

New York: If You Can Make It There…

You got to see snow for the first time and, although you where not impressed with it, we took a lot of pictures. Everyone loved you in NY and although we are starting all over with you sleeping in your own bed again you are perfect. I love that you are learning what we are saying and REALLY understanding us. And show it.

How Tall, How Big, How Wonderful

You went to the doctor when I got back. You now weigh 23 pounds and grew a whole inch taller. You are so big. You wear size 12-18 month clothes now even though you are only nine months old. I have a feeling you are going to be very tall. Which is great with us. You are also testing your boundaries and what you can and can’t do. It is so nice to see you interact with everyone you are really becoming a little person.

I am so excited about how you are developing and changing and how good you are. I might be eating my words in a couple of months or when you are two but that is ok. We will work it all out. I love you so much and so does all your family on both sides. You are the most wonderful girl in the WORLD.

The Trusted Organizer, Inc.

Finally, I started my own company called The Trusted Organizer, Inc. I am a freelance bookkeeper and personal organizer. I work my own hours and see you every day for most of the day. I spend a lot of time with you and am successful at my job. It is not stressful and exactly what I have always wanted to do. I am fortunate that I am able to do my job and see you so much. This gives your father and me a lot of time with you and it really shows through in your development and behavior.

You are VERY outgoing and loving.
