My Dear DollBaby-

I am so excited to write to you today because there has been so much going on since I last wrote. You can now roll back and forth so fast and from one side of the room to the other. It is the cutest thing, but we have to watch you extra carefully now. The other day I went into the kitchen to get something real fast and when I came back into the living room you were under the window curtains. I couldn't see you for a bit. It was like you were hiding. You are such a smart baby and very curious too!

You are eating baby food very well now. At first you hated the taste and the texture. You would gag and make the worst faces at the beginning. But, now you like to eat and are very good at it. You like fruits much better than the green vegetables, but you also like sweet potatoes and squash. Daddy and I are very proud of you. You still like mommy's milk the best and we will continue to feed you this way for awhile because it is so healthy good for you!

On 1/11/11 I saw your first tooth coming in. It has been a little painful for you, but mommy and daddy have given you a little medicine at night to help you feel better. You like to suck on your cold teething toys and also on frozen washcloths. They make your teeth feel better. I think it is super cute and want to look at your tooth every day to see how it is coming in.

We have been hanging out with Mimi a lot because Grandpa Beck went to heaven. We all miss him very very much. He loved you so much and is now your angel in heaven. We know that he watches over you every day and keeps you safe. We pray every day and night to him and Jesus. I am very blessed that you got to meet him. He was the most loving and giving man. He was a fabulous father and grandfather. He always would ask me if I was singing the scales to you. He played the piano with you when you were very little and we have a picture. He loved to hold you but was nervous about you being so little. Grandpa Beck was very musical and I think he will give you those talents from heaven.

You still wake up a lot at night, but it is ok because I love you so much and love holding and feeding you at night. You are our light. Everyone thinks you should do commercials or be a baby model. We agree. Can't wait until you start crawling. You are very close. Love you always and forever.

Love - Mommy
