Dear Annabelle,
Today you are four months old! I can’t believe that you have
already been in my life for one third of a year, but in a way, I can’t remember
life without you either. This month you have changed in so many exciting ways! You
can stand up when you hold onto my fingers for support, and you love it! You
straighten your little legs and try to stand whenever you’re sitting. You also
love sitting in your Bumbo seat, which you have mastered. You sit up straight
looking so proud of yourself! You’re not just batting at toys now, but grabbing
them with gusto! You found your feet and consier them your favorite toys, but I
don’t think you realize that they are attached to you yet.
You are no longer just cooing, you are squealing and yelping
and discovering your voice. You seem to amaze yourself sometimes! You also
finally giggled for the first time on June 27th while your daddy was
tickling you. That sound was the most wonderful thing I’ve ever heard, but you
haven’t been interested in repeating it since. I know someday it will be easy
to elicit giggles from you, but I hope I never take them for granted.
You continue to be the light of my life, and I am so
blessed that you are my daughter.
Love,
Mama
