4 months

Dear Becca,

You and I woke up early this morning, we laid in the bed just smiling and talking to each other. I started thinking about you, about how before you were born. I remember wondering how much I loved Lillie, and wondering how I could spread that love to cover two little girls. And then you were born and I discovered the love I had for Lillie was still there and I had more than enough love for you as well. The love had grown.

The last 4 months have been a delight, you are such a content and happy baby. I said the other day if I had been going to order a baby, you are the one I would have picked. You smile almost all the time. You only cry when you need something and then you are happy again once the problem is resolved. You are now sleeping 6 hour stretches at night and eat then go right back to sleep.

You love your family, Lillie receives lots of smiles and you watch her so closely. She still loves to hold you and you seem so patient. You get lots of kisses and smiles as well. I can't wait to watch you and Lillie interact more. Things are going to be fun.

You love your Daddy and seem to have lots to tell him. I love the way he holds you and talks to you. So many people ask what Daddy thinks about having 2 girls, The answer is easy, He loves his girls.

Your Mama, that's me, Well I am totally in love with you. You watch every move I make and always have a smile for me. You love to cuddle and just stare into my eyes. You can make me melt and I know so many little things go undone while I just sit and rock you.

The truth is that when I was laying in bed and we were visiting this morning, I was thinking I hoped I did not miss anything these last 4 months. I don't think I have, I feel so blessed to spend each and every day with you and Lillie.

Boo, I have so enjoyed your first 4 months and look forward to all that is to come. You have brought so much happiness to our home. I thank God for the miracle that you are.

Love, Mama
