4 months old

Dear Abigail,

You are now four months old and growing like a weed. Not much has changed this month except you are getting better at all then things you could already do. Scooting pro, you talk/babble a lot more and you actually are having a conversation with those around you even if we don’t have a clue what you are saying – even though we act like we do know. You are starting to laugh too. It is so cute.

Something new that I am going to work on is Elimination Communication. This is where I read your body language to know when you have to use the bathroom and we work together on Infant Potty Training. I wish I had found out earlier, but as the saying goes, “Better Late than Never.”

Here are some things I want you to know:
· Success isn’t measured by the money you have.
· Life is what you make of it. Choose to be happy.
· Forgiveness is essential in life.
· You may not always be popular – it is Okay.
· Education is important-Study Hard and Do Well.
· Make friends. A few good ones to last you a lifetime.
· Sex is for marriage – so wait; it is so worth it.
· Parents make mistakes and so will you.
· Read and then read some more. This is how you learn.
· Children are a gift from God –write carefully on them- it is for life.
· You may think you know more than you parents; I did to at one point, but I am still learning from them.
· Read your Bible and pray daily.
· Know that your parents are always here for you.

Abigail, you are the sunshine of our lives.
