Letter to My Baby: Week 11 & 12

Monday, December 13, 10:00pm

Dear Ryder,

Today you are twelve weeks old.  I have had so much fun with you the last couple of weeks.  All of a sudden you are doing so many more things and want to play with me so much more.  You smile all the time now, and you have even giggled once or twice.  You follow me with your eyes or turn your head to look at me when you hear my voice, which melts my heart and makes me want to hug you all the time.  You also like to sing with me. When I sing you nursery rhymes you get really excited and start to make lots of little cooing sounds.  Another new thing you are doing is talking lots to your toys.  You have figured out how to make them swing wildly by kicking your legs and swinging your arms back and forth.   You have so much fun smiling and talking to them.

 

This week we flew to UT to visit your Granni and Poppa.  You were so good on your first plan ride, even though our flight was delayed.  Your daddy was a nervous wreck, but you just slept and ate and only got a little fussy.  Your got to meet your Grandpa Thomson.  You also got to meet your Poppa, Aunt Maren, Uncle Corban and Aunt Amanda.  Your cousins, Mariah, Richie, and Ariel, loved meeting you and holding you for the first time!  Mariah is staying with us this week and she is so good at holding you, feeding you and playing with you.

 

I’m looking forward to many more happy days with you!

Love, Momma
