10 weeks.
Dear Holly,
Last week, Mommy went on her annual overnight business trip to Washington D.C. Instead of me using my last two vacation days, Nonna and Papa came up from Alabama to watch you and your brother Jack while I was at work.
It was a perfect match-up: Jack had Papa and you had Nonna.
When I got home from work each day, I couldn’t help not notice that without him trying to, Jack kept entertaining you as he played with his toys.
You had a front row seat to Jack’s antics. The funny thing is, you just stared intently. You never really smiled while watching him, but you didn’t want to do anything else- just watch him.
In fact, you stare so much at your brother he complains to me about it: “Daddy, Holly’s staring at me again!”
Nonna took care of you during the night, which perfectly coincided with you beginning to sleep through the night, at 2 months old. I am so happy about you sleeping longer, and I know Mommy is too.
As I look through these pictures of you and Nonna together, it’s evident what a light complexion you have, especially in contrast to Nonna and Papa’s skin tone.
In particular, it’s interesting to see how such a pink-toned baby girl can come from a Mexican/Italian grandmother who is so much darker; knowing that even Mommy and I both have an olive-complexion, as compared to the lighter tone both you and your brother have.
Something else I’m thinking about as I see these pictures… it’s helping to confirm my theory that you may end up being my little red-headed daughter. How amazing would that be?
We’ll know for sure once your baby hair completely falls out and your new hair really starts growing in…
Love,
Daddy
