First of all mommy wants to apologize for being a few days late with your letter. Time seems to get away from me these days! My little girl is 2 1/2...I can't believe it! Most people think you are older than you really are just because you are so tall like your daddy. To me, you will always be my little girl..no matter how old or how tall you are.
You waited all week to go see Dr. Russell. I have never heard of a toddler being so excited to go to the doctor, but you couldn't wait. You were such a good little girl while we were there and you have surpassed all of your developmental milestones. You are seriously growing up WAY to fast for this momma! You weigh just over 30 pounds and you are 37 1/4 inches tall. Dr. Russell and mommy don't believe this height. You were 37 1/2 inches tall 6 months ago and in the 99th percentile. We find it hard to believe that you shrunk and are only in the 85th percentile. Dr. Russell said you really may be off the chart with your height. You are a string bean like your dad. Lucky little girl...I think your baby sister might be short and tubby like your mommy. Poor thing. :)
I ask your daddy everyday how did we get so lucky to have such a beautiful little girl? You have the prettiest auburn, red hair and the biggest brown eyes I have ever seen. Those eyes often get you out of trouble. All you have to do is look at mommy with them and shed just the slightest tear, and then it is all over for mommy. You make mommy and daddy laugh everyday. You light up the room when you walk in. You have the funniest little personality I have ever seen. You are sweet, ornery, smart, hilarious and so much more all wrapped up together. I couldn't ask for a more perfect daughter than you (and your sister of course!)
Your vocabulary continues to amaze me day after day. You talk like you are so grown up and I can't believe most of what comes out of your little mouth. You are too smart for your little self. You continue to go to school two days a week and you love it! You have made so many little friends...one by the name of Ella in particular. Most of the time you are nice to your sister, but you have done some pretty mean things to her this past month...you bit her before church one morning and it really hurt her feelings. You did say you were sorry and you cried too because you knew it wasn't right. You are a pretty good eater, but still very picky. You like to eat, but only certain things. Your favorites are chicken nuggets, fries, pizza, tacos, nachos, any kind of fruit (Beee-nanas), ravioli, mac and cheese, PB toast, cereal and milk, hot dogs, chocolate pudding, chips, peppers, black olives, cucumbers, and grilled cheese. What kid doesn't like these things. I wish you would eat more of what mommy and daddy eat, but I know I am at fault for this. You still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your milk and you drink 3-4 glasses a day. You are still my great little sleeper. You sleep around 11-12 hours at night and you take at least a 3 hour nap during the day. Mommy LOVES this too!
Your most recent biggest accomplishment is that you are becoming potty trained! I think all it took was turning 2 1/2...really. You haven't had an accident since Friday and it is now Tuesday. You have been wearing undies at home and pull-ups to school. Mommy is ssooooooo super proud of you Lily Rose! You got to pick out a toy for doing so well and you picked out a My Little Pony. Yay for you!
Most days I cannot believe you are my daughter...how did I get so lucky and so blessed? I thank God everyday and every night for you, Lily Rose. You have brought more happiness to my life than you will ever know. I hope that one day when you are older you can read back through these books and really know how deeply your mommy loves you. You are the light of my life and the center of my world. I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
Love,
Mommy
