One Month Old!

Dear Evelyn,

It still feels like you were just in my belly moving and growing. Everytime I look at you I fall more in love with you! Your the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life, and I am so glad I get to be your mommy!
This month has been wirlwind especially since your daddy went back to Iraq. I've been very lucky that you've been such a good baby. Heres a few things I want to remember about you so far.

You have your daddy's eyes.
You dont fit in your newborn sized PJ's anymore, you are now wearing 0-3 months.
Your so far looking very tall! last time you were measured you were 21 1/2 inches!
You have my fingers!
Your hair was dark brown when you were born, now your going lighter.
You fit in newborn diapers...but slowly are starting not to.
Your 100% breastfed! It took alot of work and time, but now your a champ at it!
You smile but only in the mornings. Its a little sad since I cant show daddy but he has seen you smirk before. Also you have one dimple on your left cheek.
You can hold your head up for a good 5 minutes now before you get tired.
You are slowly starting to try and grab your toys.
You sleep with your hands pointed towards the sky.

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you! Your doing an amazing job at growing and even though its sad that you wont be so little very soon, we're so excited to watch you grow and gain your personality. We hope we raise you well. Even though Daddy is gone right now, I give you his kisses before bedtime. He misses you so much and can't wait to be with you again. I hope you'll always be proud of the sacrifice he makes not just for his country, but to keep all of us safe. We're so blessed to have you in our life Evelyn. Just know you got so many people who love you here on earth, as well as your Auntie Suzy and your Army Uncle Mike and your grandparents in heaven.

Love, Your Mommy
