Letter 5

Hello my tiny little princess.

We are 3 days away from your 4 month "monthday". We are also 3 months into your daddy's deployment. Right now, I'm sitting here watching you squirm and smile in my mother's arms. I have so much fun watching you learn and explore and try new things. Today on the bed, you rolled over for the first time with a little help from me. It was so funny to see your eyes light up with excitement and then a flash of fear. You're doing so well Molly Jane. It's so hard for me to believe that you've been in this world with us for close to 4 whole months. You are such a blessing and you are more special to us than you will ever really know. I know that everyday that your daddy gets to see you on Skype his eyes light up because he loves you so much. I wish that he were here with us to experience all of the new and exciting things that you are doing! I'm torn between wanting you to grow up quickly so that we can talk and laugh together, and wanting time to stand still so that I can soak up every single second that I have with you while you're so tiny. I'm so proud of you and everything that you've accomplished so far. I can't wait to see each new day and what it will bring with it for us to experience together. I love you very much sweetheart.

Love,
Mommy
