What an incredibly sweet and happy baby you are! You'll be twelve weeks old on Tuesday, and the time is flying by, just like everyone said it would. In one sense, I love that you are getting bigger because I can't wait to see the things you'll learn how to do or take you to the playground or bake cupcakes with you, but on the other hand, I want you to be my tiny little cuddle baby forever.
You smile all day long and it just makes daddy and mommy so very happy. You've started making little noises this month, and you're getting much stronger. You have grown a couple of inches and you weigh about 12.5 lbs. I tell daddy all the time that you know how to say momma because when you cry you say "mamamamama" and I love it. I'm staring at you right now as you are grinning from ear to ear- such a beautiful baby. I love your cheeks and your eyes and your little button nose. You have ticklish thighs and feet and you laugh out loud now! I think you are starting to look more like me, but your eyes are undeniably daddy's. You stare at us with those beautiful brown eyes and even though you can't say it, your eyes are telling us how much you love us. I can't explain it, but I know that's what you are thinking. You sneeze quite a bit, usually two or three sneezes at a time. You love when I tell you about your eyes, ears, nose, mouth and cheeks...oh how sweet your cheeks are!! Everyone loves them and has to say how cute they are every time we take you out. You have the hiccups everyday. In fact, you have them right now as you are falling asleep; they don't seem to bother you but are still quite pitiful.
I don't think I realized how much joy you would bring our family. The whole time I was pregnant all we could talk about was how we just couldn't wait to hold you, and now when I'm holding you that seems like ages ago! We can't really remember you not being here and wouldn't want to. You truly are a blessing. Daddy sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" in church a few weeks ago (you love being in worship and hearing daddy), and the line, "morning by morning new mercies I see," found a new meaning in my heart because every morning when I get you out of your crib I truly do see new mercies in your face. You are my little blessing and I love you more than you'll ever know. I tell you all the time that you are "Mommy's baby"- I treasure you more than anything. I don't think you'll understand how much I love and adore you until you have your own little baby. I love you, Sweet Girl!
Love and kisses,
Mommy
