Letter to Noa Month 3

Noa,
Well, unfortunately, I'm already behind in letters to you. New Year's Resolution is to stay on top of these!
Anyway, you and your sister have kept us quite busy. We just celebrated our first Christmas and Hanukkah with both of you and although you received quite a few darling gifts, I think your sister has a false idea of what the holidays will be like in the future—she was opening her gifts and yours! Next year I'm sure you'll show her who's boss.

Who's bigger? You or your stocking?

Two weeks ago we moved you into your own room. I thought you'd have a hard transition, but it seems you were like, "FINALLY!" I wonder if papa's snoring was waking you? Or all of our tossing and turning? Anyway, since you've moved into your room you've become the champ of nighttime sleepers. Last night you broke your record and slept 9 hours straight! (6:30-3:30!) I feel like a new woman, although by 3 pm this afternoon, I'll probably look like the exhausted mama that I am.

You are a very happy kiddo and have been filling our days with your smiles. You still don't like the swing or the bouncy seat, but are very content lying on the floor or on the changing table. And you love your sister. In the past two days the following occurred..

You were lying on the floor of Sena's room while I got Sena changed. I had to reach for something and turned my back and you started fussing. When I turned back around Sena was giving you a kiss- and you smiled. Ahh.

Then yesterday I was pumping milk for you, and when Sena realized she couldn't help me she started looking for something to do. You woke up from your brief nap in your car seat and Sena, on her own, marched into the living room, pulled up the blanket and handed you your pacifier. You both seemed so pleased with yourselves.

We are looking forward to 2011 and all of the milestones you'll be making. I really can't believe 3 months has passed already, and that in the next 3 months you'll probably be rolling over, laughing, sitting up, and eating solids!

we love you honey,
love
mama
