You may not know it yet...

My darling Isabella, 

You may not know this yet, but you will. Having a sibling is one of the greatest things you can have. You're going to be a big sister. That comes with a lot of responsibility, but also with A LOT of fun. We don't know if you'll have a little brother or a little sister, I'm hoping for a little sister, just because I like my sisters so much. But I've heard little boys are great too! 

Having a sibling means always having someone to play with, someone to protect you, someone to make fun of you and for you to make fun of. Someone to laugh with and someone to team up against mom and dad with. They will be your built in best friend. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. They will always love you and take care of you and drive you crazy. But that's the beauty of having a sibling!

So little girl you're a darling 6 months old. You crawl. Really Craaaawwwl. We started building my house (yes - I built you and you're sibling a bedroom so you can come stay with me when you get older) and all weekend you were in such a great mood. That's when you really started to crawl. You even tried to crawl after me when I was leaving. 

I stopped by to see your friend Bo yesterday. He cried when I held him. Made me miss you an awful lot. You just laugh and smile when I hold you. Well you don't let me hold you very much. You want to walk and crawl and play. You're so active.


Good things are coming...




 


Dear New Baby,

I want you to know just how loved you are. We have such a large family and have been so excited to share all of our love with your big sister Isabella. But we're so excited to be able to share that with you. You're expected arrival date is December 20th and right now you're just 9 weeks old. You're growing your little fingers and toes and mommy and DeDe just heard your heartbeat. I hope I get to go with your mom this time around and see you on the ultrasound. You're coming into a great life little peanut. :) and you've got yourself a pretty great mom dad and older sister. 


Goodmorning Elijah or Abigail. 


Love, 

You're auntie Lollie.
