September Already

Last post was in February.  Man, times flies.  Last time I wrote our little girl’s baby brother wasn’t even a month old.  Now he’s a pretty big and long (imagine that) little boy.  Our little girl isn’t a toddler anymore.  She really is a little girl.  Little being relative.  She’s a head taller than everyone else in her class at church.  🙂

She has had (and still does really) trouble with having a little brother around.  All that sharing is tough.  But it’s been good too.  Last night she played with him some and it was a really cool moment to watch.

Her 3rd birthday was recently.  That was fun.  Had parties with both sets of grandparents.  I was determined to get her a soccer ball.  When I took her out to look at them, she ran past them and grabbed a baseball bat and a pink batting helmet.  So now she has a plastic t-ball set as well as a soccer ball from mom and dad.

I hope you and your brother enjoy them both together.

Love you both.

Dad.

Hi Little Girl

Hi baby girl. Felt you kick the other day. Your mom grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. It was pretty cool and surreal for me. I had flashbacks of my mom pregnant with one of my brothers and feeling them kick. Now here I am with a child of my own on the way. Pretty neat.

Obviously, we found out that you are a girl. I’m excited about that. There aren’t a lot of girls on my side of the family, which means that between you being the first grandchild and being a girl, you’ll be spoiled rotten. 🙂 I have a few cousins that I think will get a kick out of it too.

By the way, if by the time you are reading this, I haven’t taught you to play baseball, football and gotten you started in your BBQ education, call me out. 🙂

Looking forward to meeting you.

Love Dad.
