Letters to Solace: 11 months

My dear Solace,

11 months so soon! You're standing and cruising on furniture with finesse and the widest, drooly two-tooth grin. You love food with a passion, letting us know with constant repetitions of "muh." If you're not uttering that, you're crying for mama. You prefer to be within sight of me at all times. If you don't notice I'm not present, you're the most content baby. Thankful you are such a sweet baby with others. You nurse four times a day for up to ten minutes each. You are wearing 9 month clothing and size 3 diapers. You are not a fan of shoes but you'll tolerate socks. You cling onto us like a koala, which we find exceedingly endearing. We all love you so much, Solly Pie! As we reflect on this past year, we are so thankful to the Lord for your birth, for your life has truly been a solace. I can't believe you're turning a year old next month. Time passes too quickly; we cherish all the moments in the present with you, my littlest babe!

Love you so,

Mommy
