Letters to Hope

The Journal of Isis Elfman for Her Daughter, Hope

My Little Chunky Monkey

July 21st, 2005 · No Comments · First Year

I already have a million pet names for you:

  • Chunky Monkey (my favorite)
  • Miss Hope
  • Cutie Pa Tutie
  • Honey Bunny
  • Beautiful
  • Perfect Girl
  • Darling
  • Perfect Princess

Those are just a few of them. You are so cute.

You smile all of the time and now you are starting to laugh. You are so determined to go somewhere: once you start crawling or walking you are going to be everywhere.

It is crazy to think that you are already almost four months old. You already can sit up/with help and you are really trying to roll over. You still sleep with me but I am trying to get you into the crib so that mommy and daddy can get some rest every once in awhile.

You have so many people that come and visit you all the time. Your Aunt Melanie and Faith are here now they are taking care of you while I am at work.

Nanny Malia and Her Daughter, Alisa

I hired a Nanny for you her name is Malia and she is from Ecuador. She has a daughter who is 11, whose name is Alisa and she plays with you all day long. You seem to really like both of them which is great, I hope you build a wonderful bond with both people and I hope that they are in your life for a very long time.

I have to get used to the fact that you are being cared for (at least for half of the day) by another person. That is so hard for me to deal with but I do want what is best for you and for now since I am not able to stay at home I think Malia is the best choice.

Still in Disbelief Over YOU

I still can not believe that you are here and that you are so loved. I know I keep saying that over and over again; it just amazes me how much I love you and how much so many other people love you and how wonderful I hope your life will be.
