Alexis - 2.5 Months Old

Dear Alexis,

I am SO sorry that I haven't written in over a month. Oops! Rest assured, second children are loved JUST as much as first, there is just so much less time in a day! Between you, your big sister, and our new puppy Duke, I certainly have my hands full during the day and then I'm too tired at night to do anything but sleep (if you'll let me!). But being a mom of two is absolutely fantastic. You are such a wonderful baby - easy-going, smiley, happy. However, you are TERRIFYING, because a week ago, at only 9.5 weeks, you rolled over for the first time - which is very, very early!! I always knew you were going to be a trouble-maker! Good thing you are cute!

Love,

Mommy

Mercedes - 2.5 Years Old!

Dear Ceecee,

In 3 days you officially become two and a half years old. Hard to believe that a whole six months has passed since your birthday! You are growing and changing right before our eyes and while some of the progress is torture (teething those final molars, tantrums, Dora obsession), all in all, it's pretty amazing to watch. You talk in complex sentences, love to sing and dance, know all your colours, and can count to 15. I love having real conversations with you, especially since so much of what you say these days is absolutely hilarious! Like spouting off the word dammit today in frustration. Oops. I'll blame that one on your father!

Love,

Mommy
