January 26, 2011

Dear Lucia,

Another great visit with your pediatrician last night. You are FINALLY 12 pounds! You are 25" in length. You are long and lean. You did not get this from your mother, so I think that it is safe to say you do show some of your father's traits. You have my hair and eyes but his long and lean stature. You are therefore poised to be a supermodel ;). You showed off excellent head control for the doctor and she keeps using the word "awesome" to describe you. Every positive visit helps me to feel a little less worry. Here we have made it already 4.5 months and you are doing so well! You are such an angel.

Today I'm at work and we are battling yet ANOTHER snow storm. I just want to leave and come home and play with you. It's hard getting home to fussy teething baby. I like when I get to cuddle you when you wake up and play with you while you laugh and giggle. You are so happy that it's hard to see you deal with any stress. Your eczema is finally looking better too. I've been eliminating dairy from my diet for a good month now, and this is not easy! No pizza, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. - the foods I love! You are worth it though. I was secretly hoping dairy wasn't the culprit. I'd gladly eliminate other foods instead.

Ok, well I better get back to work. Your photos all over my desk are distraction enough. I love you. Here's hoping for a snow day tomorrow at least. I loved last Friday - just the two of us - music, playtime, exercises, cuddling, giggling... I also got lots of housework done. It was the perfect quiet kind of day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow... I love you, sweetheart!!

Love, Mama
