My sweet Morgen --
You've fallen asleep again while nursing. This time you have a mouthful of breast milk which is now dribbling out of the corners of your mouth and down my side to eventually drip onto the chair. LOL.
I love you so.

You're Getting So Big!
Hi honey --
We just got home from your pediatrician appointment with Dr. Jeremy. He says you look great! He's really pleased with how you're growing and developing. So am I.
You're rolling over from tummy to back. Not every time, but you've done it a few times for me now and I imagine you'll be doing it more and more often as the days go on. Before we know it you'll be rolling over from back to front and crawling. Oh my! I cannot wait for you to start crawling.
You weighed 11.5 pounds today. I think you might weigh a little more than that, but I'm not going to have an argument with his scale again. You are 22.5" long and your head circumference is 15-7/8". Oh you are getting so big!!
And yet you are still my little cuddle monkey.
You're sleeping in your swing at the moment. I think I'm going to head off to the gym. I have some pent up frustration that I need to channel into something positive. I'm hoping there is a cuddle session for us this afternoon.
I love you!
Mommy.

So Many Changes
Hi honey!
You are changing so much every day. The changes are subtle, but both your daddy and I see them.
You rolled over for the first time last week. Tuesday, September 6th to be exact. Your father witnessed it. You have yet to demonstrate these skills for me. Unless of course you count gravity helping you roll over on the bed after our nap yesterday afternoon. Yeah...I didn't think so either. But you are getting close to doing it again. I think any day now you'll be rolling over regularly.
You have so much more to say these days. So many coos and squeaks. We can't get enough of these! And you are so busy looking everywhere! I think you are ready to see what this world has to offer.
Today you grabbed hold of a rattle while we were out running errands. You didn't shake it around, but you did grab hold and you wouldn't let go for a good five minutes. That's a first!
We are debating whether or not you have begun teething. You dad thinks so, but I'm not convinced. Sure, you're drooling a bunch and you seem to really enjoy chomping on your fist, but I think you've just discovered that that fist belongs to you and, "Hey! Look how well it fits in my mouth!" One of these days I'll check to see if I feel any numbs along your gums and, if I think I do, I'll have Dr. Jeremy confirm next week. :)
It's hard to believe that I'll be back at work in a little over two weeks. Part of me wants to be back now so I can be busy, but the other part of me (the smart 99%) wants to stay home with you forever. I don't want to miss out on a thing! Alas, I don't have that luxury, but at least the office is close to home. Once I'm back full time, I'll be able to visit you for lunch. And with any luck I'll be able to get back to work slowly -- perhaps five hours in office and three from home to start. We shall see what my boss says later this week.
Tomorrow Oma and Opa are coming to spend the day with you. I'm taking Judith to Disneyland. I think you will love Disneyland when you're older, but you're a little too young for it right now. I'd like you to spend some extra time cuddling them, okay? They could use it.
And hey! Look at you now! Nursing away like the snacktastic baby you are -- I guess some things don't change. You are going to be so big so soon!
I love you muffin.

meine Morgen
My dearest Morgen --
As I write this you are sleeping soundly in your swing. Peaceful. Growing! Unaware of what today will bring.
Your father and I are all too aware of the day's activity. Your sister's memorial service. We are celebrating her all too short life. We will be surrounded by family and friends. Many are not able to attend but will be with us in spirit, taking the time to think of Sonne at 1 o'clock this afternoon. It is to be a day of celebration, but I know it will be tinged with sorrow. Tears for a sweet girl who passed away far too soon.
One day we will have to explain to you what happened and help you understand why your sister is not here. I only hope that by that day we have an idea of what to say to you.
Today will be hard for us, but we will be holding you close and we will get strength from you.
We love you dearly, little Morgen.
xoxo...Mom
