Dear Juliette,

One year ago I was convinced that I was having a boy. I'm so glad that I was wrong! We love you. You are a joy to be around. Even Andrew likes you. A couple of days he said, "mom, our baby is so cute."
You are six months old and you've already mastered crawling. You weigh about 14lbs, you haven't been to the Doctor yet so I don't know your percentages.
I can tell you are anxious to get bigger. You seem like you're ready to pull up. Please don't, it's bad enough that you crawl, you don't need to be in such a hurry to grow up. Just stay a little baby for a little bit longer.

I love you so much. I'm lucky to be your mom.
