Dear Zoe,
Between getting sick and everything that happened around Christmas, this was one of your busiest months ever. So much so, that I’m only just now getting around to writing your December newsletter, even though it’s nearly time to start on the January one. Still, I hate it when people posts excuses instead of just posting, so let’s get down to business!
Dear Zoe,
Well, let’s see. This month you had your first Thanksgiving dinner at Eric and Jill’s. You caught a nasty cold and then gave it to your Mom and me. You developed a bit of separation anxiety. And it feels like I’m forgetting something. Something… Ah, yes, now I remember. You started crawling. Honestly, you develop these new abilities overnight, like there’s no learning curve at all. One minute you’re not able to do something, and the next minute you’re doing it all the time, and looking at us like it’s no big deal, you’ve always done this, and you’re not sure why we’re making such a fuss over it.
Dear Zoe,
Writing these newsletters each month is daunting. I always feel like I’m struggling to find enough to write about, but by the time I’m done, I’ve managed to find plenty to talk about. This month, for example, you got your first tooth, said your first word (sort of), kissed your momma for the first time, and wore an octopus costume for Halloween.
