Best Big Sister Ever! Eliza's First Month and Zairah's Lost Tooth

Well, If you can believe it, It's been a month already since Eliza was born!

Forever For Zairah is due for a name change As well as a new border for the page lol. You've been an amazing big sister. Sometimes even too amazing. Lol. You crowd your sisters space so much, kissing her, touching her face, laying too close to her. But it's all from a very deep love. Aside from that, you've been so very helpful, and very supportive. You're always so willing to help, be it handing us diapers, taking diapers to the trash or just watching her while she's on the bed when we need to leave the room for a split second. In the car, you reach over from your car seat to hers to give her her pacifier when it falls out and you're always singing and dancing for her entertainment. Eliza, you are so lucky to have Zairah as your big sister.

A few days shy of turning a month old your umbilical cord fell off, and just yesterday at grandma's house, Zairah's lost her first tooth. It's been comical to say the least. She wouldn't stop telling everyone, "Guess what, my tooth fell out!" And this morning when she woke up and noticed that the Tooth Fairy came her excitement was through the roof. 

I’m equally if not more excited for my life as a father of two beautiful girls!!! Daddy may need a dog sooner than he thought. But that’s another story for another time. Lol.

Terrible 4's? (Big Sister Syndrome)

Maaaaaaaaaaan!!!

Zairah, if you were in front of me, I'm sure I would have to tell you to sit still and calm down! Lol. I try to chalk it up to the fact that "You're a kid" But...... Lol
Generally you are and always have been a great kid, and you still are, I guess I'm simply hoping that you've been acting out because you know the clock is ticking on you being the sole focal point, because THE BABY IS COMING!!!!!
(Sidebar: You will ALWAYS be Mommy and Daddies baby, no matter how big you get, no matter your new sibling or anything else.)

But yes, the baby is coming! In fact, currently Mommy and Daddy are in the hospital room with grandma and grandpa waiting for the baby to arrive.

These passed couple of months have been very exciting for all 3 of us. I've been overly excited to meet your new baby sister, mommy has obviously been anxious and even you have been making so many different plans for yourself and your baby sister. You've been planning on feeding her, helping her with her baths, and teaching her how to do all the things that you know how to do. Seeing you excited makes me more excited. As I'm typing this you are in school and grandma will be there this afternoon to pick you up. Hopefully by that time or shortly after your baby sister will be here already.

In the mean time. Your first tooth is loose! When I got home from work yesterday you ran to me to let me know that you had a tooth loose and that you couldn't wait for the tooth fairy to bring you two coins so that you can buy something. I don't know how far two coins will get you, but I can't wait to see your face light up when you see that the tooth fairy came to leave you your money for you tooth.

Nothing else for now baby! the name of this blog will have to change soon, But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Love you baby!

Big Sister (First 2019 Update)

Heeeyyyy Baby!!

Seems like every time I open this particular text window, I find myself here for the first time in a long time. Something I actually apologize for because I started this with the intention of giving you a post to read for at least every week of your childhood. I constantly promise myself that I'll do better and I don't lol. What I can promise you is: I've remembered every day of life with you since the last post therefore filling in the gaps during any of our numerous conversations won't be a problem.

So, what's been up since the last post? Seeing as how the last post was about your first day of school, A LOT! Lol.
So there's plenty of stuff to catch up on. In that time Mommy and I got married, you killed your school year and graduated! (I didn't cry! My eye balls were sweating.) And the biggest news of all, This is the year you become a big sister!!! That's right baby. Mommy is close to 7 months pregnant and come September we're expecting to bring your baby sister home. Mommy and Daddy wanted her to be a he, but you said you wanted a little sister, so I guess God saw to it that you had your way. We're all so very excited. And now, it looks like the name of this blog may have to change from Forever For Zairah to something incorporating your baby sis. I was thinking I'd name her Alise, but I feel it has a middle name vibe and might want to go with something a little different for her first. Who knows? I'll see how I feel when I meet her.

I can't stop imagining what life will be with the two of you. I day dream about seeing you teach her all the things you've learned. You've been very vocal about wanting to show her how to play and how to dance, and how to ride a scooter like yours. What's dope is the age gap between the two of you will be very similar if not the same as the age gap between me and your tio Rudy. I just really hope that you guys have the relationship me and Rudy have now as opposed to the one we had growing up. Which wasn't always bad, but it's definitely not as good as what it is now.

Pretty soon we'll be leaving NYC, the land that I love. Something else that you've been very vocal about wanting to do. I truly love NYC, but I loathe winter and can't live in it any longer. Plus the three of you deserve a bigger house, so West Coast here we come! However that's still a story for another post. When I get home I'm going to put together a post covering a few of the other events I missed writing about, primarily the wedding and your graduation!

Until then, love you baby girl! Behave your self.... and also help me decide what we're gonna change the title of this blog to. Lol
