My sweet Molly Jane,
I'm watching you play tug of war with Buck right now. He has one end of your balloon and you have the other. You keep saying, "Mine" and laughing. I love listening to you laugh like this. You're so full of joy. I hope you realize one day how much happiness you bring into my life everyday. I know that there will come a day when you and I may not get along so well because I'm going to try to protect you from things that you aren't going to want to be protected from. We'll argue and have disagreements, but I promise you that my love for you will never ever go away. You are so special to me and I love you so very much. Thank you so much for being who you are. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. You're the best, baby girl.
I love you.
Love,
Mommy

Letter 8
Hi baby,
I'm sitting here in bed next to you. You're sleeping so peacefully. Daddy is at work making his last (we hope) flight in the military. It's nights like this that remind me of when it was just you and I here. It's lonely for me, but these days at least I know that Daddy will be coming home later to give you and me kisses and love. You're so special to me. Probably my best friend these days. You listen to me, talk to me, let me cry when I need to and you smile at exactly the right moments. I hope one day that you will feel like I'm your closest friend too. Today, you were sleeping on Daddy's lap and he said, "I'm going to miss this one day." I know I'm going to miss getting to cuddle with you and getting to hold you when you wake up one of these days, too. I hope that in 13 years, when you're too cool to cuddle with me... you will anyway because you know how special it is to me. I love you very much and I want you to know that you light up my life in ways that I never thought were possible. You're the best.
Love,
Mommy

Hello, angel...
My dearest Molly Jane,
We are at Lake Kabetogama this week. This is Daddy's most favorite place. It's beautiful here. You were running around playing yesterday when we got here. Now you're in bed cuddling with Daddy. We're going to take you fishing today. I can't wait to see your face when you catch your first fish. You were running around with your Barbie fishing pole yesterday, so I think you'll catch on quickly.
I love watching you explore and learn. You are always doing something new and exciting for us to watch! Everywhere we go people are just gaga over you. You're just the cutest thing they've ever seen. But Daddy and I already know that.
I love you so much, Molly Jane. I will always be here for you. No matter what. Thanks for bringing so much joy into our lives.
I'll write again soon, baby.
Love,
Mommy

What I love about you day 194
What I love about you Molly Jane is:
-The way your eyes are a little puffy when you first wake up.
-The way your hair stands up, wild all over your head.
-The way you smile at me when I say your name.
-The way you are experimenting with new sounds.
-The way you squeal if I take away a toy, thinking you're finished with it, but you aren't yet.
-The way you laugh at the dogs.
-Your tiny giggle.
-The way you reach your tiny hand out to find me in the middle of the night.
-The way you watch the television with such awe when your favorite cartoon comes on.
-The way you giggle when you're falling asleep like it's the best feeling in the world.
-The way you choose your books even if I have all of your other toys around you.
-The way that you can touch my heart, just by touching my face.
-The way you stare into my eyes while we dance slowly around the livingroom to really good music.
-The way you laugh at me hysterically, in your jumper, when I dance around the livingroom like a fool when a fast song plays.

-the puffy sleepy face you have when you first wake up.
-the warm feeling that floods my body when your tiny hands touch my face.
-the way that you scream and laugh at Ni-Hoa, Kai Lan everytime it is on.
-the way that you laugh at the computer when we're talking to Daddy. It makes him feel like he's here with us.
-the way you grunt just a tiny bit when you're having a poop.
-the way that you can always make me feel like everything in the world is right just by smiling at me and saying, "goooooooo."

Letter 6
Molly Jane,
My dear, sweet daughter... I was just in your room with you. You were laying in your crib on your back smiling up at me. I turned on your mobile and had a flash back to before you were here. Your Daddy and I stood in your room so many times before you were born and turned on your mobile imagining what it would be like, what it would feel like, to do the same thing when you got here. I teared up a little because the feeling is so much more powerful than I ever thought it would be. It hurts my heart so that your Daddy can't be here to feel that right now. To see you laying there smiling up at me is more moving and more touching than I ever imagined before. You are growing so quickly now. You're rolling over, and laughing, and scooting... it's all happening so quickly. The only thing that I wish was different is the fact that your Daddy isn't here getting to experience all of the little things that amaze me so. He only gets to experience some of them - through video. I know that seeing you do so well helps his morale while he's gone though. I know he wishes he were here too. It won't be much longer. Then you'll get twice the love and attention that you get now - all of the time. I love you so much Molly. You are so special to me.
Love,
Mommy
