dear jade

you are so intense. you look at the world like it's a light show and you can't wait to see the next event. those big eyes searching for the next thing to look at. you are a little chatter box and often would rather talk to us then look at your plethora of toys. we like it that way.

you attack anything that comes near your mouth like you haven't eaten in days and a blanket is just as yummy as milk - maybe more so. you nurse like there are so many other things you'd rather be doing and it's just a bother. when we turn on a movie, you watch it like it's going to disappear. no blinking allowed. if we ever go to the menu or pause it, you yell until we start it up again.

you are only 3 months old and you know so much about the way you want things in life. i hope you attack the world with a vengeance; learn from the hard things and soak in the wonderful. i hope your eyes stay wide with wonder and bright with hope. we are so lucky to have you in our life.
