Almost Three Weeks..

Dear Amelia,
I can't believe that tomorrow you will be three weeks old! I was talking to Dad last night and telling him that although we've only had you in our lives for three weeks, I really could not imagine life without you. You really have the sweetest little spirit about you. You are always so calm and easy. I can't seem to get enough of you. It really hurts not holding you all the time! I can't handle putting you down to even make dinner! I think you've gotten a little used to my obsession of holding you. Today you cried and cried when I put you down and stopped right when I picked you up. Dad said you did the same thing this morning when he was leaving for work. You were in your little bed just grunting away and so he picked you up and you stopped. Unfortunately, he had to go to work so he put your back in your bed. Right away you started your little grunts again. I LOVE your grunts! It's funny because most moms have to learn their babies cries, but not me. I have gotten to learn your grunts.

You keep getting prettier and prettier every day. Yesterday we were at the grocery store and a lady stopped and asked if she could look at you. She said you were the most beautiful baby and called her friend over to have her look at you. Your complexion is getting darker and your skin is so soft! I have a feeling you might grow up to have blue or hazel eyes. I hope I'm right. I'd never thought I'd have a little girl with blue or hazel eyes!! Its totally fitting for you to have hazel eyes, the same color as your Dad. When people see you, the first thing they say is that you are totally your Dad! It's true, you look just like him! I think your Dad LOVES it every time he hears that!

Amelia, everyday I feel so lucky to have you! I don't want to wish anytime away with you! I've enjoyed you so much as a newborn!! Everyday you are changing and I want to make sure I get to cherish as must time with you as possible!

Love you tons!!
Mom
