About You

My little Amelia,
Right now you are lying in my bed next to Eleanor and you are making the cutest little noises. I've never seen a newborn make so many noises. You have a noise for everything. Right now you are making the softest little purrs. Yesterday while you were sleeping in my arms you laughed so hard and loud! It was the cutest thing! I really don't want to wish any time away, but hearing you laugh made me anxious for you to get a little older and to see your little personality come through.

Yesterday was the first day you were a little fussy. I felt so bad for you. I could tell you had a little tummy ache. Your little face would turn bright red and you would let out a loud cry. Bless your little heart!

The night before last we were in the car coming back from dinner and I think your car seat strap was too tight because you were crying so hard. Aunt Amy was in the back seat with you and she could hardly stand it. You have never cried so hard! After Amy loosed the strap you stopped crying, but you were making such those sad noises. It really did break every one's heart.

Aunt Amy was here all last week. It was so hard for her to not see you your first few weeks! She fell in love with you. It's so easy for people to fall in love with because you are so easy.

A few cute things about you:

You love to be held out in front of people on their lap with both hands around your shoulders and neck (I'm not sure if that makes sense or not). I held you like that in the hospital because it was so fun to just look at you. In fact, Mimi, Aunt Sara and my friend Lori have all said the same thing.

You also like to be held like that but with your head all the way back. It makes everyone nervous, especially dad.

Within the last two days you are starting to be more aware of your surroundings. I was kissing your neck the other day and you started smiling. It was the cutest thing!

Tomorrow you will be 4 weeks old! I hate that time is going by too fast! I get sad thinking that my pregnancy, labor and delivery and now the first few weeks of your life have come and gone. At least I have many many years to look forward to.

I Love you!

Love,
Mom
