Category: Everyday

your new nick name because while seated in your chair at the dinner table, you spaz when we try to feed you, even though when we finally get the spoon in your mouth, you’re like ‘oh yeah, I like that’. I wish you wouldn’t spaz so much about this.

Couple of nights ago, I was waiting for you to sleep with mommy and needed to get something so I “ninja rolled” over to get it. You saw me and completely woke up, because that was so cool! So I won’t be doing that near bed time anymore.

You layed on my chest today, so cute.
I started to sing and you smiled because you were hearing my voice through my chest.

Today you were chasing after Gato, who stopped and you didn’t, so you bumped into him. Almost like you were a charging bull. Very funny.

Once, and only once (so far), you wanted to sleep with your stuffed kitty. Totally random that I let you grab a stuffed animal and you picked the kitty and laid down with me. It didn’t last very long though.

Today (or yesterday), during your bath, you started trying to grab the bubbles for the first time while I was giving you a bath. They disappear and you try to grab another bunch.

Dear Daddy,

When I was born, I loved cuddling with you and sleeping on your chest all day long. You always had the magic hand to comfort me when I was upset. You bounced me for hours in the middle of the night when I couldn’t go back to sleep. It was funny to see you falling asleep first. We had a lot of good times dancing while you sang some old school R&B because I didn’t want to go to bed. I didn’t like that you don’t let me watch your big TV, you know better than anyone how bad it is to be TV-deprived! I will grow up and make a home theater even bigger than yours!

Now that I am a big girl, I like playing with you (that means climbing on you) and laughing with you every day. I also love splashing you while you give me a bath. I will do this while I can get away with it. It’s great that you get up with me every morning and feed me breakfast; you always have magic Tupperware to entertain me. I will give you kisses every now and then, not too many because I want you to beg for more and hug me a lot. But I will make the kitty face mostly for you!

When I wake up at night, please give me a bottle so I can get back to sleep. I know I shouldn’t need a bottle, but I’m a hungry girl! Sorry I don’t go to bed early enough so you can play WOW, but I have yours and mommy’s genes, so I can’t do anything about that. You said many times with that weird voice “Julia, I am your father”, so yeah, I’m your daughter and can’t go to bed at 7 PM!

We have to get out more, go for walks and to the pool, and when I’m older you can teach me how to play basketball. But you have to promise that you won’t make me play any little league, you know how annoying that is.

I love you and happy first Father’s day,

Julia

We were giving you a bath and you made the face like you were going to poop, so what do we do? We put you on the toilet and you pooped into the toilet! Look! Potty trained already! HA!

We just flew back home after 3 days in White Plains, NY. You had a hard time and we don’t know why – you started crying when we got into the plane and didn’t stop until 1 hour later. It was terrible to watch you scream and not be able to figure out what was bothering you, we suspect it was the pressure in your ears but you never had a problem with that before…

You have been to Michigan for Christmas, then White Plains, NY in February; Nashville, TN in March; then Austin, TX also in March; and now White Plains again. And we are going to Brazil in August, for your first birthday.
