Eight Months

Dear Calista,

Today you’re eight months old! Every month when the 19^th rolls around, I get a little teary.  I can’t believe that soon you’ll be one.  It’s hard to believe how quickly the months are passing. 

We moved this month.  You have your own room now, and you’re starting to enjoy your new space.  This is not only your first time in a room by yourself, but your first time in a crib, and you’re doing terrific.   You’ve stopped sleeping through the night, but I think that’s understandable with all of the adjustments you’ve had in the last month. 

You’re very quick these days.  You’ve developed your own kind of crawl.  It makes you look like a frog or as if you’re doing the breaststroke on the carpet.  It’s very cute, and always brings a smile to your dada and me.  You don’t care for activity centers and doorway bouncers; you just want to go. 

You have the sweetest demeanor, and I treasure our time together.  I love you a little more each day.   

Love Always,

Mommy
