Dearest Marlie Jeanne

You are my angel. You're my little piece of heaven. When all else is total chaos I look in your eyes and I find so much joy. I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how much I love being your mommy. I don't want you to ever forget. I love everything about you. You are so precious.

I love that you're really nothing like your sister. You're totally unique. You're just happy being you.

I love how we cuddle.

I love how you melt into my arms.

I love how you wrap your arm around mine when I hold you close to my chest.

I love how you open your mouth so wide and give me the most adorable smile.

I love that when I talk to you you talk back now.

I love how your eyes shine when you smile.

I am in love with the blond curly Q on top of your head.

I love to kiss your sweet little cheeks.

I love watching you discover your hands.

I love your perfect button nose.

I love that you have my feet.

I love your little "o" lips.

I love the peace you bring to my heart.

I love how calm and patient you are.

I love your sweet little "mwah" cry.

I can't get enough of that little pouty lip you make when you just can't hold it in any longer.

I love watching you coo and suck on daddy's nose.

I love that you let me kiss you all over and you never complain about it.

I love that you are fresh from heaven.

I love that your eyes are turning blue.

I love that you have the exact same hairline as you daddy didi as a baby.

I love it when you open your mouth so wide and pant like a little puppy dog right before you get mommy's milk.

I love that you grunt and squeak, especially when you're sleeping.

I love that even though you're a little lady your burps are louder than daddy's.

I love  your name! I especially love that your middle name is after your Great Grandma Jeanne

I love that when I put you on your tummy you curl up in a little ball and sleep for hours.
I love it when you suck your binkie so hard that you have a binkie mark all around your mouth.

I love that your favorite way to be held is heart to heart.

I love that you're so patient with your sister when she smothers you with love (literally).

I love it when you bury your face in my neck and snort like a little piggy.

I love that you love to be held close, especially in the baby bjorn.

I melt every time you do that sweet little stretch with your entire body. It's even better when you scrunch up your tiny lips.

I love that even though you were born 9lbs 6 oz, you are still so tiny to me.

I love that you have a very special place in my heart as my 2nd daughter.

I just can't get enough of you.

I love you to pieces Marlie!
