Girlfriend -
Another month come and gone, another month closer to TWO! So crazy, so hard to believe sometimes, yet this month it seems like you lost all.the.baby.
The biggest indication: your "pais" is gone.
Thats right, we are pacifier-free in the Posma home now!
You and I were shopping Target together one day when you started this "hilarious" little game of drop-the-pais. After picking it up one time too many, I told you that if you dropped it again, i was going to leave it there. Drop it you did, and I kept right on a walking. I seem so tough, but let me tell you I was inwardly terrified. You were OBSESSED.
Come nap time, I laid you down, you asked for your "pais" and I told you it was at Target, kissed you good night and tucked you in. THREE HOURS LATER, i found this:
Its been nearly a full week as I type this and you are adjusting just fine. Just like an old pro. You woke up a couple times the first few nights but we gently reminded you it was at Target, tucked you back in, and you dozed back off. Now, you aren't even waking anymore. What you are doing is jabbering nonstop and eating like champ! I guess I didnt realize how much that darn little piece of plastic curbed your appetite!
Besides ditching the paci, we know our baby is disappearing because you are talking more. You have opinions (strong ones) about how you feel, what you think and what you want. You are so bold, and loud, in all aspects of your emotions right now. Its fun to watch, though trying at times. The pic below describes you best: naughty and dirty, topped off with an angelic smile. You sure keep us on our toes.
Its been a super busy month for us, especially Daddy. You dont get to see him always before bed, so you have been clinging to your brothers non stop. You have to do everything they do, say everything they say, try everything they try and eat everything they eat. Its pretty adorable, most of the time, but it sure is alot of work at times too! Your favorite time of the day is when we get them both from school. You have the biggest smiles and the loudest squeals.
Pretty crazy to think in just about 6 weeks you will be TWO! But we also cannot wait to watch you learn and grow. We couldn't love you more, princess. And that, you are!
