7 months old

Dear Abigail,

Well, this month marks the end of 2008 and the start of a brand new year is almost here. I can’t believe you are already 7 months old… more than half way to being a year old.

This month on the 18th your two bottom teeth cut through the gum… Oh what a painful experience for you to endure and papa and mama had to listen to it and feel bad for you and lose sleep over it too. But now that they are just through the gum line I can’t wait to see them… “No Biting” little girl.

Your cousin, Rachael Morgan, will be here in a few days to spend Christmas with us. She lives out in California with my brother, your uncle, Bob and her mom Becky. Rachael is 5 months older than you… Hopefully this time you two will be able to play together. She was here to visit when she was 7 months old and you were two months… not much you could do… Now she is a year old and you are 7 months.

You are still pulling yourself up to a standing position but you aren’t really doing anything new to speak of – other than being just as cute as you can be.

You are attached to you mother – me very strongly and have a difficult time going to anybody “new” even if you know them. I am hoping this all changes very shortly. I want you to feel comfortable around your families even if you don’t see them on a daily basis. They love you very much, baby girl.

I will write more next month… with much love to you… you are growing up so very quickly.

We love our baby girl and we want what is best for you.
