Happy 1 week old birthday!
Your Dad and I are taking in every single moment with you.
Breathing in your sweet baby scent, snuggling you close to our hearts,
rocking you to sleep,
touching your silky soft skin and kissing your chubby cheeks hundreds of
times
because we know pretty soon you will become stingy with your kisses. But
doing
this every minute for the last week does not seem enough.
Time is already going
by so fast and we can see you changing and developing every day. Growing, becoming
more alert, learning what your different cries mean, the things you love…the
things you hate and Daddy can tell by the increase in all the diaper changes every day. Your Dad has become a pro diaper changer and burper! I've been so proud. You already have him wrapped around your little finger.
You are already a Daddy’s girl. You love it when
Daddy
bounces you and holds you over his shoulder with your tiny hands
dangling down. You look up to us with such love and vulnerability. It melts my heart. You
are the most precious
thing that I have ever experienced and I thank God every day for
blessing me
with the opportunity to be your mother.
You have forever changed our lives and this first week is
just the beginning. We know with each day, week, month and year our lives will
continue to grow and be centered on you...Miss Isla Rae, the love of our lives.
Thanks to God for
blessing us with such a precious little being that has made such a profound
impact.
We love you to the moon and back,
Momma
Sooo sweet! Little girls are amazing. I remember the newborn days with Evie, when it went by too terribly fast and I wanted to hold on to those. It continues to go crazy fast, but in my experience, each new phase is just as awesome as the one before. I was pleasantly surprised by that. It's so incredible to watch them grow and learn and become precious little girls. Evie melts us, even more to this day than her first days! It's an incredible gift to be a parent:)
