Letters to Hope

You turned six months old just the other day and I took you to the doctor.

You are now 20 pounds, 9 ounces and 27 inches long. You are a big girl for your age, but there was another little girl there that was only a couple days younger then you and only one ounce smaller.

Guilt: I Better Get Used to It

I tried to get your ears pierced. It was terrible the woman there were holding you down and you where crying like crazy you where so scared.

I was so upset and they did pierce your ears but they were so uneven and so high up on your ear lob that I took them out as soon as I got you home.

You where happy by the time we left the office and thank God you don’t remember the pain.

I felt so guilty and even guiltier because I am going to have them done again once they heal but I will make the marks where they go so that it will only have to be once and I will hold you so that you won’t cry so hard.

Standing Now, Walking Soon

You are always standing now and you are talking so much. You babble all the time and are very assertive as to what you want and don’t want. You hate sitting down now you always want to be up and Miss Wobbles you never stay still any more. I have a feeling you will be walking soon because you so have places to go. You laugh all the time now I can just look at you and you start laughing.
