Eighteen Weeks Plus four

Dear Alice,

You're mobile! You learned to roll the day before Valentine's Day. You've only managed to go from your front to your back and only a couple of times, but that's a pretty big deal. Then just the other day you found your feet! Very soon you'll be sitting up and eating food on your own. And then you'll be running and talking and moving off to college.

Your favorite thing right now is smiling. I swear you've always got a smile on your face. You always look like someone told you a funny joke or like you're remembering a particularly funny incident. You also seem to enjoy watching Aidan play with his toys or reading his books or watching tv. Actually, you just seem to enjoy watching your big brother in general. Maybe he's the reason you smile so much.

Love, Mama
