Dear Adelaide: Month Four
Dear Addy,
You're learning lots of new tricks but I know that in actuality you've only just begun. You've finally figured out how to get a solitary finger in your mouth. You haven't settled on a favorite just yet but I'm glad that you have found something other than me to suck on.
We still can't get you to take a bottle but you have become much more tolerant of your father which is a blessing as he now has no excuse not to be left alone with you for a couple of hours at a time. You might be teething too but we'll get more news on that at your next appointment.
Some days I feel like the best mom in the world, anticipating your every move. Other days I can't get you to stop fussing. Even on the days when I can't seem to soothe you, I still can't think of anything that I would rather be doing. I have never loved a job more.
You spend a lot of time on my lap but when you can't stand being held anymore or when I simply am not able to hold you, into the rocking chair you go! It's the most versatile piece of baby furniture that we have: playpen, straight jacket and crib.
You made your first buddy this month, his name is Krispin and you were both very interested in each other. He's five months older than you and you guys watched each other for as long as your tiny attention spans would allow. I couldn't take my eyes of him either. He had so many tricks up his sleeve like patty-cake, crawling, eating and drinking from a cup. I can't believe that you will soon be doing those too.
I've started to think about traditions that I want to share or start anew with you so we went to Celebration in the Oaks this year. You loved all of the lights and the music.
We had a fabulous photo shoot for our 2005 greeting cards. If I haven't yet given enough reasons to be declared unfit, putting you in that Santa hat should be enough to push anyone over the edge. I'm surprised that it didn't hop off and walk away on its own. Don't ask where the pom-pom went and why it was replaced with a pink bunny - I simply don't remember.
Love,
Mommy
