Dear Lucia,



Wow, we've been busy. I strive to write in this more, but it's a reflection of how crazy our lives have been. You keep me very busy! When I get home at night, it's 6pm, and I want to savor those 2 hours I get to spend with you. We are feeding you all kinds of solids and some you enjoy, some you do not. This is mommy and Lucia time. We sit and look at the fish in the fish tank. I feed you, and we play. I throw dinner in the oven and sometimes it's overcooked, sometimes it's undercooked. Occasionally it comes out ok. But you are my priority. You talk and sing to me while I rinse out my pumping parts and bottles. Then we have a fun bath and play some more. I give you baby massage while I dry you off, and sing to you. Then we snuggle and have a bottle before I put you to bed. You change so much every week, and I hope I can be more consistent with your blog. Things are so busy but I want to capture everything you are doing. Doctors are finally figuring out that you are just small for your age. You are petite. Nothing is wrong. My milk has helped you grow and kept you healthy.

You are so beautiful. The way you smile and laugh, my heart melts. We are going on our first trip as a family. It should be interesting with milk, pumping, thickener, baby food, diapers... But we can do it. Your first Yankee game at Baltimore!

I love you so much, and I am going to aim to update this more. I don't want to miss any of your tricks!!

Love, Mama
