Sicilya CarmellaMarie...my whole life i have dreamed of you. in some form or another, it was thoughts of you that filled my mind with every doll i played with, in every day dream i had. i may not have ever known until the moment i held you in my arms how beautiful your little face really would be, how sweet your breath would ever actually smell, the pull you would have on my heart, whether you were smiling, crying, sleeping or just being you. but what i can tell you is that since that first moment, time has flown by! i spent 37 weeks and 3 days awaiting your arrival and it seems like just moments ago...how has it been 9 months already?? three quarters of a year?? i just doesnt seem possible...but equally as hard to believe that there was ever a time you werent present in our life! you are amazing. from your perfectly round little head, all the way down to your stinky little toes, every inch of you is truly a miracle!
some things i never want to forget about you at this stage in your life...
- you are crawling (and that is tuscan's favorite thing, because its something you have never done before) all it took was one try and within a few minutes, you were all over the place!
- you laugh, all the time (and that is matteo's favorite thing, especially the way you laugh at tomlin when he plays fetch with his puppy!)
- you already stand up in your crib when you are ready to get up!
- you've stood yourself up next to the laundry basket to "help" me fold the laundry!
- you think you are big enough and strong enough to stand yourself up in the middle of a room, but end up on your hands and toes with your lil butt straight up in the air!
- you still LOVE to eat! finger foods are fun, 5 jars of baby food and 2 bowls of cereal a day are part of your balanced diet, as well as at least 3-4 bottles, 4oz's at a time.
- you have weaned yourself and its very bittersweet for me! i miss it, but i respect your desires and completely understand that when you are hungry, you want to eat...you dont want to work for your food! (i hope you dont inherit my lacking desire to cook when im hungry!)
- you are still an AMAZING sleeper...10-13 hours straight at night and at least one, if not 2 good naps during the day.
- now that you can freely sit up by yourself, the square playpen is your little getaway, a place to surround yourself in all your toys and play to your little hearts content - although, you would rather be crawling all over the familyroom, chewing on all your brothers big kid toys!
- you love to chew on your sippy cup...you dont seem to care if there is juice or water in it, you never seem to drink from it, you just chew on it then throw it when you get bored!
- straws in cups are becoming really exciting!
- you dont really babble, or coo...your main form of communication is growling! i growl at you, you growl right back - its very pirate-like! "aarrrh!"
- you have now had two photoshoots at fisher price - both of which you did an amazing job and i truly anticipate seeing you on a package sometime soon!
- you have graduated from the infant bathtub, to the big kid duck tub... i thought you loved taking a bath before, but now that you can sit up, and play with toys and really get that water splashing and have a duck quacking as you play, your smile never fades! (until you get water in your face and you dramatically gasp for breath!)
- you often end up in the nursery at church now because you are to busy and just cant sit quietly for that long!
- you kick your feet and smile like crazy when you get excited!
there isnt a moment in the day that i do not feel beyond grateful to be your mommy. you are a miracle, you are the peace in my chaos, you are a beautiful girl, inside and out. i can not believe that we are a mere three months away from celebrating your first birthday, but the thought excites me to no measure. i look forward to every adventure that life takes us on and i am so grateful to have a part in the beautiful little lady i know you are going to grow up to be. i love you Sicilya, more and more everyday!
millions,
~ mommy
