My big girl

Dear Libby,
This weekend, I had a quick glimpse of you as a big girl. I was nursing you, and something about the way your hair was curling on the ends, and starting to cover your ear... and the way I saw your precious little profile... Gah. I don't know... you just looked like a little girl, instead of a baby. I know it was one of those moments I'll never forget.

You've been having problems sleeping for the last week. You'll fall asleep just fine, but then the second I put you down, you pop back up. It's taking forever to get you to fall asleep and stay asleep once you're in your bed. Many nights I've had to bring you to our bed, where you then end up sleeping on my chest... and I then get no more sleep. Oh well. You're worth it, baby.

Your first tooth popped through about a week ago. You haven't bitten me. Well, at least not yet. I'm sure you will sooner or later! You haven't let the lack of teeth stop you from eating pretty much everything put in front of you. I'm amazed by how much you eat. You're starting to nurse less and less, and at daycare you aren't finishing your bottles. Your teachers have said that you'll drink an ounce or two, and then you'll literally throw the bottle on the floor. You silly girl!

Today is your first day wearing shoes. Well, they're hardly even shoes- just soft soled leather shoes. But, they're adorable. You're going to be walking in no time.

Love you, sweet girl,
Mommy
