Nine Months


Dear Calista,

Today you’re nine months old!  I can’t believe that you’ll be one in just a few short months. 

You love to eat.  Every time I go into the kitchen, you’re at my feet tugging on my dresses with a look that I know means you would like a treat.  You’ve tried more foods than I can remember including rice, bananas, mangoes, squash, eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, grapes, peaches, apricots, pumpkin, and apples.  I think your favorite at the moment is eggplant.  Such a sophisticated palate! 

Your crawl has progressed into a worm-style of movement, and you’re getting very fast.  You’re determined to keep up with me and Chloe. 

Your vocabulary is starting to expand.  You now say Mama, Dada, Sissy, Chloe, and yay. 

You’re still a mama’s girl.  You’ll let other people hold you, but if you can see me, or even hear my voice, you want your mama.  I treasure the time I get to cuddle with and wear you.  You’re such a gift!

Your dad has been gone for most of the month, and you often ask for your Dada.  I wish I could bring him back sooner, as I know he misses you every day. 

You’re a beautiful and charming addition to our family; everything you do is filled with your joy.

Love Always,
Mommy
