Letter No. 8 - First Words

Dearest Lance,

On Mommy's birthday, you said your first real word.

You said Mama.

You say Mama every time you want Mommy.

1.. 2 days after, on Christmas Eve, you said your second word.

You said Papa.

You say Papa every time.. all the time.

You are the sweetest, baby.. Your gifts to us are perfect! 

Thank you :)

Loving you so much,

Mama and Papa

Dear Sherick,

I am writing this while I have a few minutes to spare..

Pregnant in Lencois Maranhenses, Brazil

Our life used to be so easy..

Our adventures used to consist of climbing mountains and crossing sand dunes.

What happened to us?

Pregnant in Machu Picchu, Peru

Our life is not so easy anymore..

Our adventures now consist of dancing and singing during sleeping time and doing circus acts and comedy shows during feeding time.

Our life has become.. simpler yet more challenging.

Here we are.. Home on a Sunday afternoon..

Taking turns in taking care of the gift we have given to each other.

Seeing you being a wonderful daddy has made me fall in love with you even more.

Our life has become more beautiful..

Happy anniversary my love! :)

Love,

Mimi

Dear Lance,

Sweetheart..

Only Cottage Cheese and Greek Yogurt would make you willingly open your mouth :o
