Dear Burbles -- Month 10

Hi Honey,
I just need to talk to you and tell you how much I love you and tell you how much you are such a huge part of my life even though you have only been here for 10 months. You are so sweet with red hair and porceline skin. You are such an active little girl and really take after your brother in that way, but you are able to relax a little bit and cuddle unlike him. You do have a temper (it matches your red hair) and you already know how to use it to your full advantage. You are so smart too. When we are talking to you, you already know that when we say "out-chya-go" we mean that you are supposed to leave whatever room you are in. When we say clap, you clap; when we say wave, you wave. When you clap, you say "yeaaaa". You are not saying "mama" yet, but I'm sure that will come. You do say "dada, dadi". Today we all packed up in the van and went to buy tickets for the circus. We will be going on Monday. I'm so excited for you to see all of these things and have all of these new experiences in life. You look around and study everything and I'm sure that you will love the circus. Tonight you ate the varnish off the table at the Chinese Buffet. Hopefully that will not scar you for life. Physically, you get around really well. We are waiting for the day when you start walking. Dede is walking already but you are content to crawl and cruise around the furniture. You climb up the steps with amazing grace, oh, and quickly too. It is so neat to watch you learning new things every day. This month we started watching the "Your Baby Can Read" DVD and even though we don't allow you to watch TV any other time, you still seem captivated by the words and the actions of the babies. I even watched you mimic some of their motions when they were teaching you words: arms up and arms down come to mind. You have the most darling smile and it lights up your face and you have six big teeth. Your brother sometimes beats up on you, but you take it all in stride. You still have some fear of strangers, but this past week we went grocery shopping with your Great-Grandma E and the two of you tooled around the store without any trouble. She enjoys the two of you immensely. She especially likes watching you guys in church. We spent some time at Grandpa E's house this weekend and you really enjoy the boys. We love you more and more each day, and on the Eve of your first Valentine's Day, I'll tell you that are one of the sweetest Valentine's gifts I could ever receive.
I love you,
Mommy
