Dear Jada,

Dear Jada,
Oh baby girl where do I begin?  You have brought our family so much joy and happiness.  I never knew that I could love something in a way that I do you.  You have been with us now for  four months.  It seems like it has been forever.  I do not remember life before October 24th.  Literally, I don't.  You are so beautiful....like the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen.  Your beaver teeth are adorable.  Speaking of teeth, you now have a mouth full!  Your canines have come in completely and we are working on four pre-molars in the back.... You have the drool to prove it! Your hair has grown so much...it has gotten so thick in the back and the top is getting there.  I can pull the back up in the cutest pony tail ever and I can make a twig stand up on top.  I love to put bows in your hair but you can pull one out in a heartbeat.  But that is ok I have learned to choose my battles.  You came to us saying "Mama" and "Sissy".  You can put together 2-3 word sentences.

Your family is absolutely infatuated by you.  There is not enough Jada to go around.  Everyone wants to pick you or have you spend the night.  Sometimes I feel guilty for letting you go but then me and da da really need some time together.  And I know that everyone loves to spend time with you and you with them as well.  We all sit around and laugh at any little thing you do. 

You are so flipping sassy right now! You tell us "uh eh" and "no" a lot.  BUT you do get in big trouble for it. I do not want you to be "that kid" that people dread to see coming because you are a super brat.  I want you to be nice to everyone.  In saying that, I do want you to be able to take up and defend yourself though.  Don't ever be a push over but always be respectful.  

I bought you a potty yesterday.  I almost cried while putting it in the buggy! You can tell me when you know you have done it in your diaper so I figured I might as well get a potty.  You also laid us a loaf on the floor the other night.  It was my first human turd to pick up off the floor.  You also pooped in the tub while Gram was here.  I put it in the bathroom before you came home.  I just wanted to see what you would do or if you would even notice it.  YOU DID!... of course you nosey thing.  You knew to sit on it.  So we did so....many times.  I will not force it on you...it's there for when you're interested. 

You love shoes! You love to pull every pair out of your closet and bring them in the living room for all to see and put on.  Your favorite pair are your yellow rubber boots.  Your Pap loves that you love your rubber boots.  He said he insist on buying you your first pair of real cowgirl boots when he comes home.  BTW I now know how to get anything from ol goat... just say you need it and it's done or bought! You will wear any outfit I put on you. You can rock some super lazy clothes as well as the cutest little boutique outfit.  I love you in anything.  My favorite is you dressed up to go outside and get dirty.  You are just the cutest with that rank outside smell, sticky hands, face and chest from a good ol dum dum sucker, and grass in your hair from rolling around in the yard. We had a picnic the other day and you absolutely loved it.  You would go ride your 4-Wheeler for a bit and then come lay with me on the blanket.   I cannot wait until summer. 

I recently went back to work at my old job.  On one hand it was a hard decision but on the other it was super easy.  The hard part was that I really loved my job the easy part was I loved my boss and job from my old job and it would only be part time.  I already knew how everything was ran at my old job and I just couldn't pass up the hours.  I wanted to spend my days with you.  I did not like rushing to get there before 7:50 every morning and not leaving till 5:30 every evening.  I missed you everyday.  One late evening I almost cried out in the parking lot bc I was going to be late picking you up and I knew that when I walked through the doors at Tiny's you would be the only one still sitting there, like always. Even though I have plenty of people that would help me with you, it is not there responsibility. It is mine and you are mine.  We waited so long for you and I just don't want to miss one minute. SO me and you girlfriend have breakfast together in the mornings and my
afternoons are spent with you.  I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I made the right decision. 

Speaking of waiting so long for you......sweetheart you just could not be anymore perfect.  Like I love you! Da Da loves you!  You two are so amazing with one another.  I know that we were not there to see you take your first breath, first smile, first bath, first word, first tooth, first crawl, first step or any of your first holidays.... But you can rest assure that we are here for everything else from October 24, 2013 on.  You will never want for anything.  Our focus is making sure you are well taken care of and have parents that love you and will do anything for you.  We will keep you out of danger and make sure you never know what it is like to live in pure hell.  You have a bed....it's the same bed you sleep in every night.  You are not shuffled from place to place, eating who knows what, breathing in meth or weed and being exposed to things no kid/child should be exposed to. 

You and Da Da are a pair I tell ya!  You love him oh so much.  You love to watch and listen to him play his guitar.  You love to watch him perform (blog coming for this).  You will give him sugar many times more than you will me.  A lot of people say you favor him.  And you do....it's kind of funny.  It's something about your eyes and you definitely have full lips like he does.  You both have round heads and puffy cheeks. Every morning he is home you two pile up on the couch or recliner and yall "wake up".  He gets up and fixes your juice.  You, him, bank bank, and juice watch tv.  He gets you dressed while I am getting dressed.  He is such a big help to Ma Ma.  I don't know what I would do without him.  I am very lucky and so are you.

I just wanted to write to you and let you know what you have been up to.  I love you Jada Bug!  There isn't anything like you.  You literally light up a room when you walk in and say "Hey".  You are the talk of our little community.  I have people daily come up to me and/or message me to tell me how happy they are for us and you.  You are loved by many. 

Love,
Ma Ma
