Eight beautiful months with you...

Dearest Clara,

Days and nights with you has been great this month. Nights especially when all you do is sleep after feeding and just sleep. Thank you for allowing mama to rest and take naps in between our busy nights when Sabel is all cries and baubles. 

This month has been especially yummy as I introduced you to berries. You've seem to like it by far and I wish it'll be the same when your big and start to be a picky eater (I pray you will never be). 

When you turned 8 months, you started to look a lot like Julia when she was your age. I smile in a certain disbelief because you both look so much a like. 

This month too, we started to prompt you to sit and stand which you very much enjoyed. You enjoy standing tall alongside your crib and watching how the minutes unfold especially when your two sisters are around doing their own thing. At times you fall down and create a frown to your much disappointment. But you gladly smile when being prompted again. Oh how charming you always are!

You enjoy morning strolls with Sabel and at times afternoon strolls with your sisters. Sabel has been so fond of animals that she visits the sheep from our neighbor's yard almost every morning. I hope you'll grow up to be fond of animals just like her. Julia on the other hand has been so lady like and very organized. I too, wish that you'll grow up to get some sprinkling of her kindness. 

I pray that you'll be able to talk real soon. When you can start babbling some baby words. When you can finally say Mama and Dada the least. 

Here you are with your beautiful sisters.

I love you so much my little giant! 

To the moon and beyond, always!

Love,

Mama
