Every Little Thing

Dear Ziggy,

This is a page from my baby book. My mom and dad were very detailed in keeping track of any and every little thing when it came to me. Did you know that I was an excellent sleeper? Some things never change. There are even pages and pages of notes documenting the color, fragrance, consistency and weight of my poo during the first several weeks of my life. Now that’s love.

Here are a few excerpts from the book:

At eight months of age her vocabulary consisted of Mama, Dada, Nana, and Baba. At ten months - Daddy was eating an eclair and she stood in front of him begging for a bite, so she took a bite and while she was chewing she said in a loud voice NUM NUM NUM - from then on you had to share it.

At 16.5 months she could say: nose, brush, baby, now, me, hot, ice, gee gee (cracker), nanee (banana), juice, no no, ow, Daddy, Mommy, tickle tickle, doggy, glasses, bobby, boo, nite nite, bye bye. Also at this time she had 10 teeth. Other words she says: keys, book. At 22.5 months she was brushing her teeth and sitting on the potty. Not using it yet though!!

I know that my records of you will be just as, if not more, detailed and I just can’t wait to start documenting every little bit of you. But I promise, I’ll try not to weigh your poops.

XO,
Mama
