YOU STARTED SLEEPING IN YOUR CRIB FRIDAY NIGHT. I MISS HAVING YOU IN BED WITH ME AND YOUR DADDY – BUT WE NEEDED TO GET YOU IN YOUR BED. IT’S TIME. ITHINK WE’LL MOVE YOUR CRIB INTO YOUR ROOM WHEN YOU’RE AROUND 18 MONTHS.

YOUR’E ALMOST WALKING. YOU HAVE A PUSH CART THA TYOU HOLD ONTO AND WALK. IT’S SO CUTE! I ALSO THINK YOU WANT TO TRY USING A FORK OR SPOON. I THINK I MAY BUY YOU SOME BABY FORKS OR SPOONS AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF THEM.

IT ICED HERE IN MEMPHIS THI SPAS WEEKEND. WHEN IT MELTS AND WARMS UP A BIT (HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEKEND), I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO THE ZOO FOR YOUR FIRST VISIT. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOWS RIGHT NOW ARE “YO GABBA GABBA” AND “SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS,” AND A FEW RANDOM SHOWS ON BABYFIRST TV. YOU’VE STARTED DANCING TO ANY MUSIC THAT’S ON AND I LOVE IT!

I ALWAYS WORRY THAT I DON’T TELL YOU I LOVE YOU ENOUGH. I SAY IT ALL THE TIME, BUT MAYBE THAT’S A NORMAL WORRY. MAYBE ALL PARENTS WORRY ABOUT THAT. I WISH I DIDN’T HAVE TO WORK. THAT I COULD STAY HOME WITH YOU ALL DAY. THAT I COULD BE A STAY AT HOME MOM. MAYBE THEN I’D FEEL LIKE YOU WERE GETTING ALL THE LOVE YOU NEED FROM ME. AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, I WORRY YOU’LL GET MORE ATTACHED TO LINDA THAN TO ME B/C SHE SEES YOU MORE THAN I DO. YOU’RE IN DAYCARE WITH LINDA ALL DAY LONG AND THEN I PICK YOU UP AND BRING YOU HOME, BUT I CAN’T PLAY WITH YOU OR LOVE ON YOU B/C I HAVE TO MAKE YOUR DINNER, BATHE YOU, AND GET YOU TO SLEEP BY 7:30 OR 8. IT’S PRETTY DEPRESSING. WHEN YOU GROW UP, IF YOU HAVE KIDS (I WANT GRANDKIDS!!), IF THERE’S ANY WAY YOU CAN STAY HOME – DO IT. I THINK YOU’D ENJOY IT. BUT THEN AGAIN THERE’S THOSE MOMS THAT NEED WORK, YA KNOW. SO IT’S COOL EITHER WAY – BUT IF YOU THINK YOU’D LIKE TO STAY HOME AND YOU HAVE THE ABILITY – DO IT. YOU’LL ENJOY IT.

I LOVE YOU BABY!!
