Now that I have restarted work after a lovely two week holiday vacation, I know that keeping up with my December Daily album will become more difficult. However, I am determined to keep up with it as best I can! I have already surpassed my blogging from last years attempt (I am happy to say that at least I did a better job of completing the album than the blog last year). At any rate, December 14th I took some time to write a letter to Michaela letting her know all the things she is up to at this point. I love including this because I have not been great about recording the "little things" she does. In the past I have relied on sent emails to family and friends to remind myself when she reached certain milestones. I know in the future I will be very happy that I made note of all the things she is doing at this stage in her life. Below is the letter...

Michaela-

Your Dad and I are amazed by you more and more everyday. You are definitely becoming your own person, complete with opinions and everything. You have started wanting to have a say in quite a lot, especially what you wear and what you eat. Your favorite thing to wear lately is a summer dress from Grandma, despite the winter weather. On the other hand, you also enjoy wearing your hat inside, I have picked you up from school and you have been wearing your hat on more than a few occasions. Your favorite food is hot dogs, but you are also starting to like turkey sandwiches (including the bread...a big step for you). We love it when you respond "sure" to our requests or "what?!" to our questions. You continue to have an interest in books and caring for your dolls. You are VERY into movies and seem to enjoy Beauty and the Beast the most right now. You also love to be active...doing somersaults, running from room to room, climbing over furniture, and jumping on the bed are some of your winter favorites. Since swimming lessons ended in the Fall, you love all things to do with water..."paddle, paddle, paddle" you say. You keep us laughing at all the things you say and discover and we LOVE seeing you grow and learn Michaela Jean!

Is it normal that I cried reading your letter to MJ?! What a sweet sweet note! You are doing an amazing job capturing her growing up with your skill in photography and talent with scrapbooking. You are truly an incredible mother Kate!!!
ReplyDeleteLindsay- Guess who is crying now! After a long week of getting MJ back into her "normal" routine this was just the perfect thing to read, thank you! You are so sweet.
