Dear Mimi,
Since I last wrote you grew some hair.
Okay, no you didn't. That's you wearing the wig your father wore when he was John Lennon a few weekends ago. It's actually a 'Rachel' wig I got at Winmark, but best not to tell your father that since he wore it in polite society.
As you know, you dislike having things on your head. Mama would love to buy you cute hats but you'd have them on your head for not more than 2 seconds. But guess who donned the wig?? You preened and cooed in front of the mirror and thought 'I look AWESOME'. I think you've become girlier. Mama is happy with this development because your first word aside from babababababa and mamamamamama is CAR! I blame your father for this because he had put a car calendar in your room. Every morning the two of you look through the calendar and spot the colourful Porsches on each month, so it really is no wonder that you can point out a car in a magazine or on the road in two shakes of a ducks' tail.
You were crawling the last time Mama posted about you, but now you've found your feet. You try and walk everywhere these days. Every evening after we read books you shimmy your little bum off the bed and away you go, exploring your parent's room with gusto. These days you also know how to make demands. Like asking Mama to read you a particular book (Unngghhh!), or to give you some of whatever it is on the plate we happen to be holding (Mamam!). So we're also starting to set you some boundaries lest you turn into a lil' monster.
You still love your food, and since I last wrote your meals are considerably more interesting than porridge with mushy peas. I think you enjoy eating out for lunch because we order your food from the Kids Menu. Sometimes we sneak you some ice-cream.
It's amazing to watch you grow, learn and experience new things. Your latest gig is picking up Mama's mobile, placing it near your ear and coo softly to Bapa. That's also your cutest gig. That and how you love (and look like) your father.
You are a sight for sore eyes after a long day at work. But darling, since I last wrote you have yet to grow more hair.
Love,
Mama xx
