Dear Olivia,




You amaze me.

You are such an alert little baby. You like looking around when we carry you face forward. You kick, you squeal, and you were only born 74 days ago.

Although you are new to our family, it seems like you have always been with us. We know you are meant to be our daughter. I know I'm meant to be your Mommy. Daddy feels the same way too.

You hold your head up well and love to look at Mommy and Daddy. Tonight we went to the park. Boone ran around and you wanted to look around at everything. We walked and we walked until we thought you were getting cold. As soon as we got in the car you started to cry. Mommy got out with you and instantly you stopped crying.

You know what you like.

You go from giggles to making a little coughing sound, which we have learned means that you are getting frustrated/tired.

That is the way you went to bed tonight. We sang, you were on your back while Daddy and Mommy showed you some toys and talked with you and then two minutes later...you're asleep and haven't budged a bit in 45 minutes.

You're so precious and we love getting to know you.

Love, Mommy

  1. Dear Mommy,

    You are a wonderful, amazing, gifted, remarkable mother. You value Olive and each little dimple and sparkle that is on her and in her. You treasure the moments when you get to relax and be with her and when you get to relax and allow her to be. You are learning the adoration that comes from watching and experiencing this bundle of sweetness respond and interact with her Daddy (your Davy). You are beginning to realize your own efficacy in being the one to whom this wondrous gift of humanity clings to in her most delighted and most frightened moments. You are becoming a more fulfilling woman, wife, friend, daughter and Jennifer.
    In precious recap: You are becoming a MOMMY.

    With adoring friendship & love,
    Sweet Olive AnnMarie's Aunt Jenna Marie
