Hey my little Beeboo, today is Jajjee's (that's my nickname for Daddy) 32nd b-day! Without a doubt, you are all the present that I need. I woke up this morning and went right into your room. You were wide awake, peaceful, and in your little swaddle. All you did was look up at me and give me a huge smile. It made my morning. One of my favorite things is in the morning when I undo the velcro on your swaddle. You do this huge stretch, raising both arms overhead, and make the cutest little Beeboo stretchie face (that's what I call it).
So what's new with you:
- You are almost to the point where you can rollover by yourself. It's sooooo cute. You are 90% there and trying so hard to finish it off.
- We took you on your first "flying" vacation. We went to Destin the first full week of September. You ultimately did 4 flights. We had layovers in Atlanta both ways, so each trip was 2 flights. You were great on the plane, slept most of the time. Everyone sitting around us kept saying how beautiful you were and how happy you were. We had a great time on the trip. You were dipped in the ocean quite a few times and we're crazy curious as to what was going on. You never ever cried or pouted in the ocean. We bought a canopy so that you could nap on a blanket or in your chair under the canopy in the shade. The weather was great, mostly sunny, and highs in the mid to upper 80's most of the week. There was a lot of family on the trip: The three of us, grandpa laughlin, grandma tootsie, uncle cheech, aunt amanda and uncle robb, aunt jessica and uncle tim (aunt cris and uncle colan couldn't make it down from New York). In the other house were Alan/Denise, Melissa (who is obsessed with you), and a handful of their friends. All the dogs were there too: boomer, baxter, molly, and stella.
- You are just now starting to have rice added to your milk. You are becoming a big girl now!
- A few of your future friends that have been born lately or will be born soon:
Layla Cobb - Born February 2010
Alexis Shinn - Born March 2010
Kellen Harris - Born September 2010
Robert and Peter Scudieri - Born September 2010
Amelia LeMasters - Shares your birthday
Nora Reilly - due November 2010
- Right now Mommy works part time at the hospital as a Labor and Delivery Nurse (she works 2 days a week). Mimmi watches you at least one of those days, sometimes two. She does an amazing job and loves showing you off to all her friends and neighbors. The other days its either Grammy T, Jajjee (if it's on the weekends), Grandma Tootsie, or somone else we could find for the day (like Mrs. Tooley).
- You love music. I put fun music on Youtube for you and dance for you. You love Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber songs.
You are the perfect daughter. You are more than I could have ever asked for in a baby girl. I can't wait to teach you, raise you, love you, and watch you grow into an amazing person.
I love you,
Your Daddy (jajjee)
