The Sara Adventure

Dear Gracie Leigh,

I feel like I have a lot to tell you this month. You have changed so much! It's a weird thing to say, but you're like a little person now! I know you were always a person, but you are letting your personality come out now. You are so amazing.

Some of the highlights of this month:

• You hitting physical milestones: finding your hands, holding your head up steady, putting weight on your legs, and yesterday you rolled over for the first time. You did it on accident, and you should have seen your face! You were very surprised. You did it again, but I think that one was an accident, too.
  
  
• You are now big enough to see out the top of the carrier and you love to look around. Before it got too cold you would smile at the wind in your hair.
  
  
• Nursing you in your bedroom while listening to Christmas music and watching it snow
  
  
• You smiling in response to either me or Daddy looking at you. Then smiling again when we talk to you... then again when we smile at you...
  
  
• You met the Andersons- Aunt Allison, Uncle Brandon, and your cousin, Peyton.
  
  
• As always, seeing the delight in everyone's face who meets you. That's what you are, a delight.
  
  
• Listening to you babble, coo, and talk to us. I know you have a lot to say already.
  

This month we moved from your first home on Keystone Ave, to our new home on Keeler Ave. It is much bigger and you now have your own bedroom. Surprisingly, I think we both sleep better. I don't hear your every movement, and you don't hear ours. When you get hungry, you don't cry, but instead you call out to me. You say "ooooo, ahhhhh.... ahhhhh...." until I come in to get you.

You went through a growth spurt and practically grew out of your 3mo clothes over night! You were cranky and all you wanted to do was eat. I'd be cranky, too, if I was trying to grow as much as you and work on as many skills as you are working on!

Love, your Momma
