October 18, 2010

Dear Lucia,

You continue to amaze me. In all of the pictures we take lately, you look so beautiful, so alert. That's the word that everyone uses: alert. You are wide-eyed, interested in your surroundings, engaged. You are everything that the doctors didn't think you would be. I again was thinking back on the past 5 weeks, and I'm amazed by you. I can't believe how far we've come these past 5 weeks. Taking a nap with you today, you were very interested in using your hands. You kept distracting yourself. You like pulling my hair, touching my face, trying to root/suck on my fingers. You are using your activity mat. You love taking in all that is around you. I'm struck by how beautiful you are. I was just telling your daddy that we are going to have our hands full when you are a teenager.

I love you baby.

Love, Mama
