Dear Little Boo,
As I write this at 12:20 am, I recall that six months and a day ago, I asked the nurse assigned to me to call the doctor. A couple of hours earlier, she had told me to have her paged should I feel any pressing pains.
When she came, she saw that the opening where you'd soon be going out was already halfway to its intended size. It wasn't though until three hours later that I heard you crying your first bright outside world cry.
And today you've been crying in the big outside world for six months and a day. You've also been cooing, smiling, babbling, making funny faces, and laughing.
Lately, as part of your milestones, you've also been reaching out for and grabbing your bottle and just a few hours earlier, your spoon, whenever these are placed within your reach.
This just means, baby, that even if you were a month and a half premature when you were born, you're now really ready for solid food!
I know I have been intermittently giving you solid food since last month but I promise, mommy will be more consistent. :)
I'm looking forward to decades of preparing and cooking your food and that of your dad's, little one! Your daddy and I hope that you'll grow up to be a healthy but adventurous foodie.
We love you.
Mommy
