Dear Millie,
Well, the reality is getting to that a person year mark was so much develop up that after it, the time has just type of mixed together as well as I missed your 13 as well as 14 month letter by a bit, so I’m integrating them. So many people talk about the very first birthday, as well as when we hit yours, I was full of so many emotions. I still can’t believe you are one, it just doesn’t feel like you’ve been with us for that long, as well as I look back at old pictures as well as videos of you frequently as well as miss those days. however man, these past two months have been crazy, as far as you altering as well as growing, as well as I like it!
Each day, I wake as much as noises of you playing in your crib—you seldom cry—but frequently you kick the crib so difficult the entire second floor of the home shakes, as well as that is my get up phone call from you. From the moment you get up up until the end of the day, you are incredibly active. You don’t like sitting around, you don’t like being held, you don’t like resting. You like to play as well as explore, you like going outside, you like finding new things. It’s so fun to watch, however likewise exhausting for me. Your granny tells me that I won’t recognize exactly how active you are up until the next infant comes, since it would be difficult to match your level of activity, however I don’t believe it’s a poor thing—it’s just tiring to you around!
You like climbing on whatever you discover as well as into every little area possible. The huge hutch in our dining space is your new preferred hiding place, as well as you spend rather a bit of time in there throughout the day. Open, shut, hide, repeat. You like “talking” as well as telling stories, as well as your wonderful bit voice is my preferred noise in the entire world. You started singing too, which once again is your adorable voice making wonderful noises to your preferred tunes (you still like Moana as well as now are on a Frozen kick, too).
You like seeing other youngsters – it’s the youngsters that pleasure you as well as adults are just meh for you. The youngsters in the community are always asking for you to play, as well as we either play in their lawns or go to the park. one of your finest friends, who we see often, was set on having you walk, as well as she’s been difficult at work getting you to walk. You have been able to walk for a few months however you don’t show any type of rate of interest in really walking. (Granted, this letter is late as well as you are not just walking however running up a storm now!) For you, walking is sluggish as well as a nuisance. You prefer crawling, as well as you are an professional crawler as well as it doesn’t bother you if you requirement to bring something—you really utilize your mouth to bring things while you crawl, or you do this side scoot that looks hilarious however enables you to quickly move from point A to point B. Your stubbornness continues to show in your character in every way, as well as I like that part about you—you understand what you want as well as you don’t hold back.
You like music as well as are enthralled by hearing as well as seeing online music. You get as close as possible as well as try to research study it all. If you continue to like music, I’ll try some lessons when you’re older, however who understands if that will take—your dada as well as I are not musically inclined. You like seeing anything flying in the sky, as well as we take trips to the flight terminal to watch the planes take off. Your bit finger points up into the sky as well as you let out an enthusiastic “ohhhhhhh” when there is a airplane taking off or a bird in flight. You’re inquisitive as well as like life, you online for the little things, as well as I try to always remind myself we don’t requirement something huge, as you discover the beauty in what we as adults think about ordinary.
Sometimes when I look at you now, I recognize you aren’t a baby, you are a little toddler, as well as that is interesting as well as unfortunate all at once. I can’t believe exactly how quick the time goes as well as exactly how desperately I want to soak in every moment with you. I want to keep in mind it all, online in it all, as well as never fail to remember all these bit elements of your life as well as personality. sometimes I feel the days just slipping by as well as I discover myself scrolling with pictures of you on my phone in the evenings trying to keep in mind it all.
You are as well as will always be my everything. My heart sometimes feels like it can’t take exactly how much I like you, as well as I am so thankful that when I keep in mind to compose these letters, I’ll have something to come back to as well as always keep in mind each stage of your life.
Love,
Mama
