Today you are 5 weeks old. In these past weeks life has changed for us in many wonderful ways. You came into our lives as this tiny (and screaming) little miracle. With you being our first child we spent the first few weeks of your life just trying to figure out what we were supposed to do with you. Your daddy quickly learned how to put on a diaper, and in only a month he is now a pro! You and I spent many hours that first week awake during the night while I tried to figure out how you wanted to sleep. You have now blessed us with 4 nights in a row of uninterrupted sleep.
We catch ourselves just looking at you in awe. I think we could stare at you all day. You have your daddy's eyes and my hair. You share so many traits of your daddy...you are a night owl (too bad mommy is an early bird...), you sneeze in threes almost every time, you are a natural around a camera...although right now your are the one being photographed, and when you are upset a trip out to see the puppies always calms you down. Your daddy loves you so much, everyday when he gets home from work he scoops you up and hardly puts you down until bed time. He has figured out your favorite way to be held and you will scream and scream until he holds you in his special way. You will surely be his "little princess" forever (and he will do his best to make sure you are a princess in blue or purple rather than pink).
We have our special moments too. The way you look at me when I feed you melts my heart every time. Even when you cry, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Right now you are finding your voice and making all kinds of new sounds. You are smiling more and more. We take naps in the afternoon and have our special moments of just us at 3:00 AM.
You are the best thing that has happened to us. We are in love so much more than we ever thought we would be and we look forward to all the new and exciting things you will show us!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
