My dear.

Dear Baby Girl,

You are a darling growing little girl. I love to squeeze you tight and plant soft kisses on your chubby cheeks. I love your blondie hair and the way it curls in the back. I love playing with it as you sleep. Running my hands threw your silky locks is by far one of my favorite things. I love how you stare me down, how your happy most in our very own home, how you long for snuggles, and I love your quiet little nature as you observe.
I must say though you know what you want and are pretty clear when you don't get it. Usually it is only when you are in a new place with new people, your shy nature makes leaving home a nerve racking experience. But as long as your close to Mommy or Daddy you tend to stay calm. You are a marvelous shopper, and whether it is a cart, stroller or Daddy's shoulders you always let Mommy finish her chores before we load up and begin home. I thank you for that.
You make me a better Mommy. I love how you enjoy my whispered songs as you linger on the verge of dreamland. I love how you look to my arms for comfort and strength. I love the confidence you give me, and the peace I have knowing you are happy and safe.
Some days I look down at you all cuddled in a blanket and feel so much love I could burst. You are perfect, and all the kisses and hugs in the world couldn't show you how much I care. I thank Heavenly Father so much for sending you to our family. I know you will not be this easy forever, so for now I will relish these tender moments that I get to spend with you cradled in my arms.

Love,

Mommy
