Dear Gentry,
You are another month older and we had another month of fun adventures. You, once again, have amazed your parents with how much you've changed in over a short period of time. My little newborn is fading away and is being replaced by such a smiley, happy baby. We don't have an EXACT schedule down yet because our day to day routine changes at the drop of a hat but you adjust well. What was once my biggest stress has become so easy, you eat well and about every 3 and a half hours. We were going every 4 hours but that put you going to bed at about 11PM. Now you go to bed at 10 and don't get up until after 7AM! I am so blessed! Just this last week we stopped swaddling you because I noticed that at nap time you sprawl out. See, my little newborn is fading away! Every night I put you in your bed wide awake with a pacifier and you go right to sleep by yourself with little to no fussing. (thanks Baby Wise) It is so hard for me to say goodnight because you are so darn precious and you are usually chatting away when I put you in your crib. I foresee this becoming a problem when you are in a big girl bed and can speak actual words....like Mother like Daughter.
Our days at home are absolutely wonderful! The best present your Daddy ever gave your Mommy was the chance to stay at home with you! He works so hard so I can feed you every meal, see your every smile, change your every diaper and wipe your every tear. I feel so blessed to be your Mommy but even more blessed to be your Daddy's Wife. Most days we have a day full of eating, napping, chores and working on tummy and back time. All day long we talk and sing to each other. You already enjoy the same music as your parents such as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, The Civil Wars, plus many more. We also play plenty of Elizabeth Mitchell and Caspar Babypants for you! The louder the music is playing the better.
On August 26th, you were baptized at Perritte Memorial United Methodist Church by Rev. Josh Hale. It's the same church your Daddy was baptized in 27 years ago. You wore the same baptism gown your Mommy wore almost 30 years ago. Cooler than that, your Pops wore it 57 years ago. Even Cooler is that your Great Grandfather Papa DeFord, wore it 98 years ago. The coolest part is that your Great, great Aunt Belle wore it 100 years ago in 1912. It was made by your Great, Great, Great Aunts. We were so blessed to have both sets of your grandparents and your Uncle Evan at the baptisim along with our closest friends the Kahldens and Cullen! After church we had them all over for a nice lady like lunch. God has blessed us so richly!
Your beautiful parents.
