A letter to my baby!

My dearest Hayden...what happened to the docile baby girl that would coo and giggle?  You have replaced her with a Tasmanian Devil...a baby that could play the lead role in the Exorcist!  Your beautiful coos and heart warming giggles are still there...but they are mixed in with random shouts and wicked growls that would make the local coyotes run in fear!

I believe it is merely frustration.  You are so smart and have so much in your mind that you want to do but have extremeties that are still working through their coordination.  In a way, these new noises are funny...even a bit endearing.  Other times, they are a bit loud and obnoxious.  But your big blue eyes and gummy smile make it all worth while!! 

You are really doing great with tummy time and don't seem to be as upset when we practice!  You have rolled over a couple of times but they were random and spaced out.  Nothing consistent yet.  And you sometimes decide not to practice so it is still not a perfected skill.  We keep rooting for you!!

Of course, you are so beautiful.  Every day Daddy tells you "you are more beautiful today than you were yesterday."  You just smile so big when he tells you this - and really anytime either of us talk to you.  You are such a happy baby!  Daddy and I feel SOOOO lucky to have such a great baby!!

Tomorrow we will be having lunch with Uncle Jason and, if you can stomach it, maybe a quick shopping trip to find me some clothes to wear to meetings that fit...maybe I should say if I can stomach it!

We love you always, our little nugget.  You absolutely ROCK and I am so super proud of you!!

Mommy
