Pickle Pickle Pickle Pickle
My dearest Piper -
So - just to let you know out of the gate - you are by far the best baby out of all of them. By far - it's not even close - yes you've had an ear infection or two and maybe a handful of time been unable to go back to sleep and continued to wail a bit - but you are by far the best baby.
Anyone can pick you up. Anyone can make you laugh. You are very inquisitive. You are very funny. You also - and I'm just saying this to make your momma mad - you are also the only one to have their first words be "Hi! Da Da" although I will say that I'm pretty sure your first word was "Ella". And then maybe "Mama" and then "Weh" (short for Wells) - but I claim the first sentence. And I'll take that.
Your brother and sister love you very much,. Ella sometimes tries to carry your around and I can always count on her to watch you when we leave the room - she will sit on the floor and try to make you laugh or show you something. Wells - tries to make you smile when you ride in the car with Momma. He is very protective of you - and I think he'll be a great Big Brother.
To me - well - to me... you're a pure gift. Your brother and sister are lucky to be born first - and often times it is hard to really appreciate your first 2 children because you're worried and nervous and sort of doing it all rushed and pensive - but you... you seemed to know we could use a little break and even a little humor. You are the perfect compliment to them and I love you as much as the other two and combined that is more than anything anyone could imagine in the entire world.
I hope you continue to be the best of us - I know the other 2 will help you.
I love you pickles -
Your Da Da
