The reason why I had a son and not a daughter

To my darling Jesse James

Today you taught me the reason why I had a son and not a daughter.

We spent a lovely morning on the beach with Aunty Kath, you ate a lot of sand, tried to eat a smelly mussel and wee'd on our blanket. Great fun was had splashing in the sea water. You also reminded me that I need to find an effective 'natural' sun block before summer is here.

Back at home this afternoon you grossed me out totally! The cat, unbeknown to me, had brought in a dead rat and started eating it under the dining room table. You managed to find it, delighting in the squishiness of it. It was like a scene from a horror movie. I caught you just before you tried putting it in your mouth. I am such a girl, I was almost in tears cleaning you up. I was so grossed out. I had a boy to force me out of my girliness.

Now, all clean again, smelling of baby and ready for bed you are my angel once more.

Lots of love,
Mommy

To my darling Jesse

In the past week I have noticed you maturing astonishingly! Just today you stood for the first time unassisted. I am so proud of what an advanced little baby you are, socially and developmentally. I do believe this is all due to the fact that you are still almost exclusively breastfed. I have only just started feeding you fruit once a day... and although you don’t swallow much it’s all about the learning experience. Learning about the taste, texture and smell of food.

Love eating Avocado!

Your meals are fruit only as I am convinced this is the perfect first food. Fruit is the closest food in make-up to breastmilk, it is a perfect food for human consumption. You have so far enjoyed bananas, avocado, blueberries and apples.

You grow more beautiful everyday and I am delighted to be there for every moment of every day.

Love

Mommy
