Dear Olivia

Dear Olivia, 

Mummy loves you. 

Mummy will always love you.

You mean the world to your Daddy and I.

You are growing up so much. in only 18 and a half months you have changed from a little tiny baby, so dependent on us for every moment, to an independent, cuddly, loveable toddler. 

You amaze me every day. 

New words, new actions, new understandings. Everything is new.

You are a busy girl. Active and curious.

You are so loving. Giving kisses seems to be your new favorite thing- Mummy, daddy,Aunt, Grand Pa and Grand Ma, your dolly the floor, your shoes- you'll give anything a kiss! Yesterday while we were making dinner.. I looked to see you and there you were, holding your dolly like a baby, and kissing her face and smiling.

Your beauty amazes me. Your big eyes get comments every day from complete strangers. 

Sometimes, Mummy has hard, or bad days. Days when she really misses your brother, or really feels sorry for herself. But, you help keep me grounded, and help me remember he beauty you bring to this world. Everything when I rock you, read to you, sing to you- I watch your beautiful face become sleepy, and feel you cuddle into my shoulder. This feeling- priceless.

You are loved, Olivia.

No matter where life takes you, or what comes your way.
You are loved by your Mother, You are needed by your Mother, and you are worthy of everything that makes you happy.

Love you forever,
Mummy
