Dear Danny J,How did you turn 9 months old already? Actually, are you sure you're only 9 months? You can do so many amazing things right now. You are growing up so fast and we're so happy to have you in our family.
You've given us plenty of surprises. The past month or 2 has been no different. You've mastered the ability to climb up our little stair cases & could climb on top of Kaelah's little red table if we would let you. You have 8 teeth & love to eat whatever your big sister is eating. You refuse to eat green bean mush but devour the real thing. It's obvious whenever you've attacked a banana, which you highly enjoy doing. You use the words 'ma ma' & 'ba ba' & 'da da' regularly and have said 'up' to be picked up more than once.
On March 12 you initiated playing peek-a-boo all by yourself. I was taking a bath (very rare) & you crawled over, pulled yourself up, & then would squat down. Every time you came up you would smile & giggle. And it really did sound like you were saying, "I'm going to do it again!" each time before you squatted. If I had only had a video camera it would have made the cutest thing in the world!You're a pro cruiser now, going from one parent or piece of furniture to another. Your daddy & I both believe you'll be walking all on your own before or around your first birthday. Yesterday, the 19th, you began crawling up the wooden stairs with the slightest of ease, making it easier for you to be around us wherever we go, but making it harder for me to keep calm. (:
You will be a big brother soon. You're not able to hide my belly anymore. When I think about how close you and your little sister will be in age, I am so very grateful for your wonderful personality. You are one of the easiest little boys in the whole wide world to take care of. Your smiles & giggles make my life so happy & I hope you always can feel how much I love my boy.I love you, Danny J!
Love,
Mommy
P.S. I will always be indebted to your birth mother, Dani J, for letting me be yours!
