Message from Mommy

My beautiful, brown-eyed, baby girl,

Three months have passed and my, haven’t you grown. I can still remember bringing you home and looking at your little face with amazement. I could not believe how my biggest wish had come true without me even trying to do anything to achieve it. Only the Lord knows just how much I love you. You have been through so many changes in these past few months that it’s hard to keep up. I get a little on the teary side when I realize that you are not my 5lb 14oz little baby anymore. I mean, I love these changes! Changes are what make life so much fun. But, I hate that each day that goes by, is a day that pushes you further and further away from that first day I held you in my arms. There was nothing like it. However, I would not change one single day we have had thereafter. Some of the things I love about you are:

Your smile. You seem to greet everyone you come in contact with, with a warm smile. You started doing this after about a few weeks home, but it was only gas and now you do it naturally.

The way you lay your head down on my chest when you are sleepy. It is like our own little cuddling time when I hold you and rock you to sleep. Doctors may think this is a bad idea and feel that you need to go to sleep without contact, but I am just not ready to let this little tradition go, it is our little bonding time.

Your new language. Once you got your little voice it has been none stop. You seem to get very excited when daddy and I are fussing a bit and you try to join in with your two cents. It is so funny to the both of us (daddy and I). You even talk to your little animal on your seat and the TV when watching. That just cracks me up.

Your Diva Moments. Lately you have gotten to the point to where you let things be known if there’s a dislike for them. You turn your head when you don’t want to be kissed (you have only did this to daddy J), you only drink 2 oz of milk and then demand that we feed you the rest at a later time. You spit out your food because it’s not what you want and you slap your little elephant around when he is not playing any music. Just today you had your first little fit and I had to keep you from bumping your head on the computer table because you wanted to be held a certain way. I will hate to see what this looks like when you get older. Just note, I will not stand for it!

Finally, I love how you are all mine. Even when you are waking up at three in the morning after giving us a month of eight hours worth of sleep, you are still all mine. You make me the happiest woman alive, even if I do get a little cranky when I can’t figure out what you want when you just keep crying. You make every day a brighter day than the day before and I thank God for you over and over again. You are my little ray of sunshine and there is nothing I would not do for you, well almost. So here’s to you my beautiful, brown eyed baby girl!!

With lots of love, Mommy

(P.S. Daddy loves you too, but his whole blog is about you, I’m just putting in my 2 cents)
