Hi Doodlebug,

I saw a little girl with her family last night at a steak house. She was about 10 or 11 months old. Her brother, who was about 4, was dressed in khaki's, shirt, red vest and plaid bow tie. The little girl had on red leather mary janes, red & white striped tights and a little red dress. Her hair was braided in two tiny braids. When I looked at her I couldn't help but think this is what you will be like at Christmas next year. I was absolutely mesmerized by her. She was so adorable and it was so interesting watching her interact with her big brother and her parents. She must have sensed me watching her because she looked at me, then smiled and when her family was being seated and her daddy picked her up to carry her to their table, she blew kisses to me all the way to the table. She was so precious and it made me long for you.Your mommy and daddy have been working on your room and have all kinds of new furniture to welcome you to your new home.Keeping your name is one of the hardest secrets I have ever had to keep, but so far I have done pretty well! You are moving around a lot and kicking mommy quite a bit. I think you are just anxious to come play with all of us. Even though you (probably) won't be here to see your Christmas presents, you will get to enjoy them soon after. So you take care and keep growing and getting ready for an amazing journey that will bring you to amazing parents.  All my love and prayers, Mimsi
