Sophie Girl
I have been meaning to do this for quite some time. I want you to always know what a joy you have brought to my life! When Daddy and I found out you were coming, we were a bit surprised and a little nervous, but a wonderful kind of nervous. As I carried you(for what I truly believe was the hottest summer ever recorded in the history of time) I fell deeply in love with you…and when I first heard you cry, before I even saw you, I knew my life would never be the same, and I was so glad. You have given me a whole new wonderful perspective on everything in life. Daddy and I thought our life was fun before you arrived but now we are left wondering how we ever existed before you. You are truly an angel….and the light of my life.
As I am writing this, you are 2 years old…soon to be 3 and the most amazingly beautiful girl I have ever seen! Let’s backtrack a bit…. You were born at Huntsville Hospital on August 16, 2007 at 1:03pm. You weighed 7lbs 3oz and 19.5in.long. You had dark hair that soon fell out and left you completely bald until a few strands of blonde began appearing around your 1st birthday. You rolled over at 4 months, got your first tooth at 6 months, crawled at 8 months, pulled up at 9 months and walked at 14 months. We have now been trying to get you potty trained for 6 months. Im really hoping you catch on to that soon.
Right now, you are so much fun! You are constantly making me laugh until my stomach hurts. Today, after watching “The Lion King” for the first time, you insisted that you needed to “lick me”. I finally figured out that you had seen the lion’s in the movie giving their babies a bath this way. You are SO very smart. You know the entire alphabet and all the sounds. Your favorite songs are “I gotta feeling” by The Blackeyed Peas and “soul Sister” by Train. You have LOVED twinkle twinkle little star for as long as I can remember.
I can see your love for me in your eyes. It is the most rewarding thing I could ever imagine. I am already fearful of how our relationship will be in your teenage years. I know that there will be times that you are mad at me or think I am being unfair, but please ALWAYS know that everything I do is out of my immeasurable love for you and your safety. I cannot imagine my life without you and pray with all my heart that I never have to. Your birth was when my life truly began. I love you beautiful girl!
