  • Dear Aidyn,

          Holy cow, kid!!  We started "tummy time" yesterday and you kept trying to swim on the floor.  I put my hands behind your feet and you scooted about 4 feet on your belly!! You're holding your head up so much more too... you'll just pick it up and turn to the other side if you're not comfy enough.  Either you're going to be really athletic or just cause me lots of trouble because you'll be into things so much earlier...  Daddy's gonna video you scooting when he gets home tonight!!
          Your daddy gets upset when you fuss after he picks you up... he thinks you don't like him.  (He's so silly.. I told him you don't really care at this point..)   But last night at about 10 I was so tired and you decided to be awake, so daddy walked you around and talked to you for about 30 minutes.  He came back in and woke me up because you were asleep!!  He was so excited... I think he felt like a good dad for the first time.  I'm so glad he got to cuddle you and rock you to sleep.  He loves you so much, Aidyn.  You just don't know... you won't until you have a little one of your own.  It's incredible how much you can love another person who doesn't even really even recognize your existence...
         Papa and Nina left for India yesterday afternoon- they should be there now!  They're going to be doing eye exams and giving out glasses while they tell people about Jesus.  So cool.  I can't wait to see pictures and hear stories!! 
          Here's a few more pictures of you and your increasingly cute self.

    I love you, baby girl.
