Hi ClaireBear,
Daddy here. Mommy has been lovingly hogging most of the blog, which I love to read by the way, but I figured I would briefly write you to say hello and I love you.
You got your first black eye recently. Somehow, While you were sleeping (you can watch that with mommy someday), you fell on your white Lamb toy. This particular toy has a wind up music box in it, and even though the music box is probably only 1/10th of the toy size, you hit it dead on.
Technically you did cry a little, as you were semi conscious right after, but quickly went right back to sleep. It was only later the next day, when we saw the swelling, that we realized you actually got hurt. But that is so you, you are such a tough girl and rarely complain even when hurt.
That toughness will come in handy very soon. Your brother Luke, is scheduled to arrive sometime in August, and I'm sure will be delighted to meet his big sister. You can show him the ropes; you are a veteran baby now and can share with Luke your experience & knowledge.
Your mommy has a tough time while pregnant, as many ladies do, but isn't she absolutely beautiful? She gets an extra glow while pregnant and her joy increases as she watches your brother grow and starts to feel slight flutters of his kicks. It is a joy daddy will never experience but also a privilege to help take care of mommy and watch her amazement.
It is so exciting watching you continue to grow more and more, and even entertaining enduring tantrums as you approach the terrible (terrific? tantamount? tactical?) Two's. We think you are just starting to realize you are not actually the boss, the true test will be when brother arrives.
Luke will be here soon, but you will always be my first born. Always my baby girl. I love you.
