Sweet Smiles

Dear Jocelyn,

I can't believe you are 7 weeks old today and I have yet to write you this letter. I will give the excuse that I have been rocking and nursing and holding you too much to sit down and write. I'll admit I've forgotten how time consuming a newborn is, but I try to remind myself that before I know it you will be wiggling out of my arms and I won't be able to hold you as I do now, so I am trying to remind myself to cherish these days.

You are beautiful, petite, dainty and everything a girl should be. I loved you from the moment we met and I can feel that growing and growing. Many Many times I have gotten emotional at just the sight or thought of you. I feel so so lucky to be your Momma and Boston's.

I love looking into your deep blue eyes. I know there color will change but the innocence will remain. They are everything lovely and precious. I love to kiss your soft cheeks over and over. I love to tuck your head under my chin. I love it when you are nursing and you smile. It makes you so happy.

Speaking of smiles you've been cracking those precious first smiles lately and they are making all the wailing of your cries worth it. I love talking to you and hope that you will start to coo more. Your smiles are lighting up my life though.

It's all down hill from here sweetheart. Right now you are getting used to this world. Your are easily startled and love to be cuddled and held all the time. You scream almost everytime I put you down because you want to be close.

You hate your bath, but you loved it the other night when I put you in the tub with me. I swirled you around the water and you seemed so content. It was a moment I will treasure.

Many more precious moments are to come.

I love you forever baby girl.

Love,
Mommy
