Letter 19

My dearest peapod,

How do you melt my heart? Let me count the ways:

1. Your belly laugh warms my soul.
2. Your independence reminds me you truly are a woman after my own heart.
3. Your arms reaching for me as if to say you are mine capture my breath.
4. Your grey eyes, already so full of wisdom and love, mirror my own.
5. Your cry weakens my resolve to give you space.
6. Your soft locks tickle your cute ears so that you pull at them.
7. Your babble makes me think of the conversations we will have in the future.

I could go on and on, but all that really matters is that I love you my sweet baby.  I love you, your father loves you, your family loves you.  May you continue to grow with the knowledge of our love tucked safely in your heart.  You are ours like we are yours.

I love you my sweet baby woman,
Mommy
