It's been awhile since I've written you a letter. You have so many new and exciting milestones that you've reached lately. You started sitting up at the end of August, but it took you until about October to sit up straight and not need your hands to balance you anymore. Recently you've really loved sitting in front of the musical mirror toy that we have. You sit and look into the mirror and bang away on the piano and drum.
You have also become a really great eater! (More on this to come in another post.) So far you've enjoyed rice and oatmeal cereal, green beans, and squash. We'll be giving sweet potatoes another try.
You are becoming so independent. We can put you in your highchair with toys or in your Jumperoo and you can entertain yourself. Even when you play on the floor, you are content with some toys scattered around you. I remember the days where you weren't reaching for or playing with toys and your daddy and I were the only things that could keep you entertained.
You are at such a great stage right now! Yes, I miss the quiet, snuggly newborn days. I miss the days when you first started smiling and laughing. Your daddy and I would try everything to get a smile or giggle. I miss when you started trying to sit up and then eventually learned but still needed a lot of support. However, I love that you still like to snuggle when you are sleepy. I love that now it's easy to get a smile or laugh from you. Your laugh really is the best sound in the world, especially after a long day at work. I love that you can now sit up without support. It makes me a lot less worried about you tipping over onto something.
I know there will be a time when I'll looking back on these days now and miss this too. I'm sure one of those will be after you are mobile. :)
I love everything about you; from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Love,
Mommy
