Letter to Lacey: Eleven Months

Wow. We’ve almost reached a whole year. I can’t think about it too much. It makes me all emotional. It’s been a big year. It’s been the best year ever.

You’ve come out of your shell over the past month, not that you were ever hiding… but you’re a real extrovert now. You’re so cheeky. I have to hide my smiles as I try and teach you right from wrong.

Wrong is you trying to stand up in your high chair every time we put you in there. Actually trying isn’t the right word, because despite the seat belt you stand up every single time. You do the same in the trolley at the supermarket.

I’ll say to you – Uh uh. You just think that’s funny, and then you copy me back with your own – Uh uh.

You’re so cheeky that you’ll do something that you know you shouldn’t be and before I can say anything you shake your head to say no. The other day you were sitting on the ground, starting to eat cotton balls, shaking your head to say no. So cheeky. And disgusting.

You’re a serial waver, just like me. Dadda laughs when we go on road trips because I will wave to any Tom, Dick or Harry just because I can. You are the same. You’ll wave to anyone, and it wins you a lot of fans. You have people going crazy when you blow them kisses. They just melt.

You love music. You have the funniest dance moves. You do the stomp, which is swaying and stomping your left foot at the same time. That’s your best move. When you’re over excited you head bang which almost makes you lose your balance.

You love birds, although you think they say woof, woof. You’ll point at them, say bird and then say woof, woof. I still have so much to teach you!

I love that I get to see you experience things for the first time. Like a simple butterfly floating through the sky. The taste of a scrumptious blueberry. Reading a new book. It makes me realise that this world is so new to you. This world is embracing you with open arms and it’s yours to explore.

And I am here to explore it with you, every step of the way. xx
