Daddy's Letter to Jessica - No. 2

Hi Jess Baby,
This letter is dated 17th Feb 2016. Daddy is in Nigeria on a short visit.
I am missing you a lot. Just yearning to hear your baby talk, see your cute smile and enjoy your antics!
You have started walking very fast these days(as I see from the videos) and your vocabulary has increased multifold since I saw you last. You are growing very fast.

I still remember the first time you started crawling (around 6 months) - you were a cute, chubby kid with very less hair and had a boyish look.
Now your hair has grown quite a bit(we had to cut it) and you have nice earrings to show you are a girl. Daddy has managed to preserve the first hair that we cut from your head. Sandeep mama cut your hair on the eve of your birthday.

Daddy's fav nicknames - Kutty Mojo, Jess kutty, Jessie, Jessie baby, Ammukutty, Kuttyma, etc
Mom's fav nicknames - Kutty Momo, Ammukutty, etc..

You were the first grandkid on Dad's side and the first after a long time in mom's side. You were the darling of everyone. Everyone had your pic as Whatsapp dp, mobile phone screensaver, etc..

One story I want to share.. I had returned from a 1 month stint in Nigeria. I came in the middle of the night. You had sleep disturbances during your first year. You were sleeping soundly next to mom. You somehow heard or smelt me. I was sleeping on the other side of mom. I cannot forget the expression on your face when you first saw me. Priceless!!!!!!

You are a BLW kid. People wonder how you manage to eat on your own. Video of you eating dosa on your own became a hit in my team in Nigeria(you were 6 months then).
Videos of you eating chicken bone, karela, biriyani, etc were super hits as well..
Kudos to your mom for her efforts on BLW!

As of today you can say words like - Staaar, 1,2..Theee, Abbi, Pappa, Appa, Mamma, Lydi, Thaatha,
(Mom to add here....)

You lift your hands to Hallelujah and clasp hands to pray. You know how to shake hands and do a hi-fi.

Love you loads,
Daddy/ Papa/
