3 Months

Dear Bria,

You just turned 3 months old yesterday. It feels like I was just sitting down to write you the letter when you were in my belly. Now you're here and my heart is full.

You have beautiful blue eyes, just like I thought. You came out with a head full of dark hair and I was just thrilled. It's starting to lighten up which is adorable, although the last dark patch on the back of your head makes me realize you've lost almost all your newborn hair. You have long fingers so we think you may be a piano player :) You have your daddies feet and your mommies nose. It also appears you got your mom's big belly and we love to give it kisses.

Your smile makes my day. I'm not even kidding. After I got my wisdom tooth out and was in pain, I came home and when I saw you smile at me I couldn't help but grin, even though it hurt. You were worth it. You just make my whole world brighter.

I love watching you with your Dad, it is the sweetest thing. He loves making you laugh and smile and can't believe how big you are getting. He was worried your chunky thighs were too big, but I assured him that is just not possible, the chunkier the better. You will sit and talk to his "mobile hand" as he calls it. I told him to enjoy this time that you'll be entertained with him moving his hand above your head. He gives you lots of kisses everyday. You have also pooped on him twice and that is hysterical. Oh, and you peed on him which is pretty impressive for a girl to do. Kudos my beautiful baby.

At first everyone said you were the spitting image of me, but now they see both your dad and I in you. All I know is you are beautiful. I love when you lay your head on my shoulder and let me cuddle with you, it is the best feeling in the world. I love to touch your soft hands and feet, they are the cutest things ever. I absolutely love when you smile, especially when you stick your little tongue out and squint your eyes, it's the biggest smile. And your laugh, oh my goodness it's so precious. It starts out with you tipping your head back and saying "oh" and then turns into a full on squeaky laugh, I can't tell you how much I love hearing your laugh. And oh how you love to talk! Your voice is so angelic and adorable that I could listen to you talk all day. You take a big breath and then just talk and talk. I just love it.

I have to admit, part of me misses you in my belly. I loved feeling you move around in there, but it's nothing compared to holding you in my arms and kissing you all over.

Bria, I love you so much. Always remember that. I wish I could shield you from this world sometimes, I'm not going to lie, it's a cruel world out there. I want nothing more than to keep away all the bad things, but I know that's not possible. Just know that your Dad and I are ALWAYS here for you, we are your biggest cheerleaders. We believe in you and love you to the moon and back. You will forever be our beautiful Bria.

I love you Bria.

Love, Mom
