Sofia: Three months

Dear Sofia,
Today you are three months old! How fitting that the three month anniversary of your birth falls on Thanksgiving. You are what I am most thankful for. You bring me such joy everyday just knowing you, seeing you smile, and watching you grow. You are a beautiful child.

You have grown so much! I love kissing your little thunder thighs. You make your daddy and me work for your smiles sometimes, but I don't mind. All the silly voices and faces are worth your beautiful bright smile.

This month you started daycare, which was incredibly difficult for me. You seem to be doing well and get happy faces on your activity sheets everyday. Miss E says you never cry. Daddy feeds you a bottle of breastmilk every morning and drops you off at daycare after I leave for work. Sometimes I visit you during lunch to breastfeed you and just hold you and smell you and love you. I pick you up at the end of the day and bring you home to spend a few precious hours with you.

When I bring you home, I read to you and help you practice rolling over, sitting up, and grabbing at things. Yesterday you rolled over all on your own, and now there is no stopping you! You love to roll! You love seeing the world from this new angle. Even in your bouncy seat, you try to roll. Everyone is very impressed with your new rolling abilities.

Tomorrow morning we head out to San Antonio for Thanksgiving at your Aunt Jessica's. You'll see your grandparents and most of your aunts and uncles. Mommy should be asleep because we still have to pack a lot of stuff and wake up around 6 am, but I wanted to be sure that I told you how very special you are on this day. I am so truly thankful for you, Sofia. You are the single most wonderful thing in my world. Always know that I love you.

Love,
Mommy
