Dear Cicely- Month 10

Dear Cicely,

Here we are 10 months old! And really we never are apart!! You are growing and changing so much every day, and really developing your own personality. You are still a little peanut, you weigh only 17 lbs (only the 11th percentile), and up until just a couple days ago you only had your bottom two teeth. But now your top two are on their way in. You had a little incident after christmas, when you fell backwards from holding the dishwasher lower rack and knocked those two teeth loose. I rushed you to the dentist because i was worried you did something terrible. But the bleeding stopped and they stopped wiggling and now they are just slightly not straight. Hopefully everything is fine now moving forward.  You are much more ambitious and into things than i am used to, quick and mobile, and very good with your hands. You crawl up stairs, can cruise around in the standing position, and crawl very fast. Probably because you are so small. Still no interest in walking, which surprises me about you. But you will in time.

You love to take baths with your brothers, and love the pool. We cant wait to take you on a cruise in a couple weeks. You will love the water i am sure. You are a pretty good eater, you love your fruits and you love peas too.  You sit with us at the table and you are just happy as a clam to be part of it all.

Your love for your brothers is ever growing. And Nick sure does look out for you.  I think he will continue to be a big help to us as you grow. I can see a you might be a little joker, too, since i see you playing tricks with us and laughing. You have a calm disposition, but we always know when you need something. But generally are pretty easy going, and can be distracted very easily.

You play with almost all of your brothers trucks and trains, and of course, paw patrol pups. It will be neat to see what kinds of toys you take to. growing up with older brothers.  You are just so small and dainty, you daddy and I tell each other almost daily how much we love you and are so happy you are here. You are such and angel. and have the best smile! You will smile at just about anyway, and give them away very freely. A happy baby is what you are.

We love you so very much, ill try to be better about writing more next month. thank you for being you, and dont change anything! I cant wait to see what next month brings!

Love always,

Your mommy
