Dear Mercedes,
Your first birthday (and your party!) is only two weeks away. I know I keep saying it, but time keeps FLYING by. Honestly, every day you seem to change and grow right before my eyes. Day by day you become smarter, sweeter, funnier and hard to believe, but even more gorgeous! Your personality just shines through in every thing you do. A little shy at first, but once you are confident in a situation you have NO problem going after what you want and voicing your (loud) opinion about it! You know what you want and nothing else will do!
You are cuddly and sweet and affectionate, but also love to play rough and tumble and don't put up with any crap, even from your older, male playmates! You are also FUNNY. You make 'jokes' and love to laugh and do things on purpose to get a reaction out of us. It's pretty awesome to see how wonderfully smart you are and how quickly you can figure things out these days.
Oh, and you also, finally... CRAWLED! At 11+ months, you finally decided to just do it. You still prefer scooting most of the time - you're better at it - but at least now you have options! I love watching you practice new skills - nothing makes me prouder!
Love,
Mommy

Mercedes - 10.5 Months Old
Dear Mercedes,
Happy New Year!! It's hard to believe that 2009 is already over - it has, without a doubt, been the BEST, most challenging, rewarding year of my life and I owe it all to you. I don't think I can ever fully explain what you mean to me and how much you enrich my life. I look at you and my heart swells - I can't help but smile... and really, all I want to do is freeze time. Watching you grow and learn new things is amazing, but it just means that you are closer to one and closer to me having to leave you to go back to work. I dread it - because staying home with you has been the most wonderful experience. I just love spending time with you and I am sorry that our moments together will be fewer. If I could stay home with you, I would in a heartbeat.
On another note, your first Chrismukkah season was a huge success! You were spoiled, of course, and it was so much fun sharing those special moments (and turkey dinners!) together. Happy New Year my beautiful girl. May 2010 bring nothing but joy and happiness to all of us.
Love,
Mommy
