A letter to my baby girl..

To my sweetest girl,

As I sit here and watch you sleep, I can't help but feel overcome with joy. You are five months old today. I can't believe it was five months ago that I was in the hospital, laboring hard to bring you into this world. Although my labor and delivery did not go the way we expected, all that is important is you arrived healthy. Five months ago my world was changed...little girl you stole my heart the minute I laid eyes on your precious face. You are the perfect mix of your father and I. Everyone says you look just like me, but I see your Daddy's sparkling eyes and mischevious smile. I love to make you laugh...when I hear that amazing sound my eyes well up with joyful tears! I love how your face lights up when you see me! It makes all those hard, sleepless nights worth it! You are my greatest joy. My whole life I have dreamed of being a Mommy, and I can't imagine a more perfect daughter than you. You have expanded my heart, filling every corner with happiness, pride and love! I can't wait to watch you grow...to see your first steps, hear your first words...to see your first day of school and your first crush. Your first prom, your graduation, your wedding...and eventually, a child of you own so you may understand the happiness I feel now. The Lord has richly blessed me by giving me you and your Daddy. I will forever praise Him and thank Him for seeing me fit to be your Mama. I love you more than life itself, and can't imagine a better life than spending every minute with you.

I love you yesterday, I love you still...I always have, I always will.

Your Mommy.
