Dearest Meleana,
I think it's the most beautiful gesture when you wave and say "hi" to Little Gary's picture on our altar. You did this for the first time in front of me about a week ago when we were praying the rosary, and every time we are hanging out in the bedroom, you'll say hi...and you'll take my hand so I can say "hi", too. Daddy taught you this a few times before and you have remembered since then. Thank you for acknowledging your big brother. I know he doesn't want us to forget him because he is in heaven praying for us every day, so this really means a lot to me that you honor his life and his presence.
A few days ago, you also kissed my tummy and said, "Baby". I wasn't sure if you understood that I have your little brother or sister in my tummy, but I was so happy to see that you get it...especially because you see Daddy talking to him/her. You're going to be a wonderful big sister! It's only a matter of two months before you get to meet the baby...we can't wait!
I love you!
Love,
Mommy =)

p.s. You recognized the letter "S" today!!! I was wearing my Steubenville sweatshirt and you pointed to the "S" and said "S"! Good job, baby girl! SuperWhy is a good teacher, so says Daddy. So is Wheel of Fortune, I suppose. I guess TV isn't all that bad... =)
