Darling Bug, you are my little angel! I had to go to the doctor today and I took you. I couldn't get the nurses away from me and the receptionist came up and squeezed your cheeks. It is so like being with a celebrity!

Anyway, you are walking so well now and your balance is excellent. I am so proud of you. As you know by now, we so desperately wanted to have you! I went through years of pain and disappointment trying to get pregnant. I pray you never know what that is like. So, if we clap a little louder than other parents, and if we seem to get teary eyed when you do something, it is because we never thought we would get to have you.

We used to go to baby showers, birthday parties and other events with friends that had children. I would sometimes become really sad and jealous. Your daddy, would just promise me that "someday" it will be our turn. Now it is our turn, and trust me we are not wasting one opportunity to cover you with love.

I am actually getting a bad back, because I sit on the floor with you all day, playing. I wouldn't change it though. I just can't believe that I was so blessed with you. You are so beautiful, smart and funny! OK, so every time I write, I say the same thing. It is because I just feel so overwhelmed with gratitude that I get the chance to be a mom, and that I am your mom. By the way, I am still waiting for you to say "Mama." I will wait until you are ready. I love you sweet baby!!!!

Sweet baby girl, you are walking almost full time now!! WOW, you are amazing! I can't get over how fast you are changing. You also started saying "HI" yesterday too. You actually say "Hiya" or "Heyo" sometimes. I love taking you infront of the mirror, where you wave and say "hi".

Your BFF Sissy scratched your face today, just above your lip. I am not happy with her at all. I know she didn't mean to do it, but I want to keep her away from you now. You love her so much, you have started screaming trying to call them over. They (Bud and Sissy) aren't fond of your screatching, but you seem to think it works. We will work on "Here kitty."

So, your daddy is in Philidelphia for work. He left on Sunday and will be home on Friday. This is the first time since you were 8 weeks old that we have had this much time just the two of us. I am loving our girl time, but I so appriciate the time your daddy spends with you. He gives you a bath, and you don't like it when mommy does it. You guys have a system.

That is what is going on. I love you so much! Mommy!
