Our Little Girl...

My little Melanie

You have no idea how proud of a momma you made me on that evening of May 6th, when I finally got to see your pretty face and kiss your sweet little nose!!! From the moment you took your first breath I could tell that you were going to be loved by many from the tears on your daddy's eyes to the smile on your grandma's face.

You stole our hearts the moment you came out.

It was such a long journey with you. You, my little love, decided to take your sweet time coming out into this world. You had so many people waitting for you it was unbelievable.

The moment you were born, you instantly became a daddy's little girl. No one could calm you down for a long while except for him. He would tell you how beautiful you were and how pretty your eyes were and how much he loved you and you seemed to quite down for a bit and turn your face towards him. When you smiled in your sleep he would say that your dreaming of daddy (we'll just have to talk about that when you grow up a bit).

Im ashamed to say that even I didn't know what to do with you. You came out so tiny I was scared to hold you at first, but then my love, you and I, we connected. Now im scared to let you out of my sight. You've ben with us for a week but it seems like we've spent a lifetime together! There hasnt ben a moment that you weren't on my mind.

I cherish every single minute with you, cause pretty soon you'll be all grown up, and I won't be able to hold your tiny body and have you fall asleep on my chest... I have a feeling my darling that you'll be an independant little girl=)

And your older brother? I don't think he quite understands that you're ours forever, but he loves taking care of you. he runs to you when you cry, and everytime he leaves somewhere and then comes home he asks "where's baby?" He holds your bottle when we feed you, and throws away your diapers and always asks if he can hold you! And he seems so proud when someone asks him who you are he says that your his sister! Do you see my little baby, how someone as tiny as you are changed our family so much?

We still have a whole lifetime of adventures together my love, there's so much that I cant wait to teach you and show you. Ther's so many stories that I would love to share with you and we have so many things to talk about! But dont rush growing up dear, take it one day at a time, enjoy every moment and remember to always find the good in the bad.

My sweet baby, your a blessing from Above and a dream come true,

I have a feeling we'll be the best of friends...

I love you with all of my heart and more,

Your momma
