Dearest little Bug,
How is it that the past SIX months have past so quickly? Where has the time gone? Half a year! It's scary to realize just how quickly time is slipping by.
We've started to get some nice weather, which has opened up a whole new world - outside! It's funny for me to think that you haven't felt the grass, or seen leaves, or probably even noticed the blue sky. We went for a few walks when you were first born, but that was when you were still more interested in snuggling close to me than exploring the world around you. But now... You are so excited to see everything, you may not like to sit in your car seat but you certainly like the stroller! And the swings at the playgrounds, of course.
We went on our first road trip - to Memphis! You did so awesome in the car but you had Daddy, Me, and Auntie Kate to keep you entertained. You were able to check out Graceland (I think you're going to be a BIG Elvis fan), MLK Jr and the Civil Right's movement's museum, the Stax museum, and of course Beal street. But I think you had the most fun going swimming in the hotel pool. You loved the water so much! I think we have a little fish on our hands!
You just got your second tooth. And now have the sweetest little toothy grin. With the introduction of these teeth have led to you checking out a few new foods, too! Bananas, carrots, apples, and sweet potato have been the most common. You love to hold onto a baby carrot and just gnaw away. And you are just a riot with bananas, holding the whole thing in your hand and chomping on the end. Such a big girl, ready to try everything.
And of course we just celebrated another first holiday - Easter. You helped Great Grandma make the coffee cake and color Easter Eggs - ok, well you weren't that helpful, but you were sure cute! And you thought all the colored eggs were pretty interesting. Every year Great Grandma Lu (Nonna) has pinatas for the kids to break. I looked at all my cousins - your second cousins - and couldn't help but remember when they were born. Samantha, who was the first baby I really remember playing with is now such a beautiful young woman. Ginevra, who I think was the first baby I babysat, Riana, Larissa, Nicole, and Rita - all of them I remember as babies and now they are full on teenagers. Even little Ava and Jake are running around looking for eggs. And they all just love you. Tiffany and Ava couldn't get enough of holding and playing with you. And I can see it. You are so ready to go be with the big kids. You are ready to play and keep up with all of them. I am so excited for you, I know you will have so much fun. But the time has gone by in the blink of an eye since they were my baby cousins. Just, don't grow up that fast. I still love to kiss your little bald head as I hold you in my arms, and blow raspberries on your belly as I change your diaper.
You are so very precious to me.
I love you little Bug. Forever.
