Dear Lorenzo,

Wow, you are getting so big!  Yet they worry you are not gaining enough, always something to worry mommy about.  You are just over 17lbs and 26.50”.  You are ready to try solids, and I know you can’t wait.  You love to eat, and you have been so interested in my eating for a while now.  You want to take my spoon, you are curious in putting everything in your mouth.  I just wish you felt better – I know you have reflux, and it’s hard to see you in pain.  I am going to try eliminating dairy to see if it helps.  I’m glad nursing has been so easy for us.  I know there are always challenges as a mommy, and this is our battle to deal with.  Otherwise, you are doing so well.  You babble so much now – dada, bababa, gagaga, etc.  Lucia loves to talk to you.  You give the most amazing smiles, love your exersaucer.  You’re so curious about how to get around.  You sit up so well and prop up on your hands, try to figure out how to get to that toy just out of reach.  You are bearing weight on your legs and trying so hard to stand.  You need to slow down – you are growing so fast.  You still sleep in our bed, and I’m sure this isn’t ideal for most people, but I love that time.  I love time to snuggle with you, nurse you during the night, cuddle and kiss you.  Comfort you when you wake up.  I will miss this and these months are so short.  Before I know it you’ll be super independent like your sister and won’t want to sleep with us.  I can’t wait to celebrate Christmas with you, and I hope it is a special holiday for our family.  We are so happy you are here.  You make our family feel complete.  I was just looking at pictures from the day you were born, and it’s so amazing.  You were so tiny, so perfect, so healthy.  You are precious.  Your hair is getting blond and your eyes seem to be brown/green.  You are becoming such a little person yourself, little man.  J  I love you so much. 


Love, mama
