Letter to Bella (Sissy)- 3 Years
My precious darling baby girl, you are THREE. Not so much a baby anymore, but to me you will always be my baby girl. You amaze us with something new every day. Numerous times you have made mine and daddy’s mouth drop from something you have said or a word that you have used. You are a very intelligent girl that has the greatest sense of humor with the most contagious laugh. We love you so much! Watching you this year has been not only exciting but also heartwarming. You have gained a baby brother and you have showed him nothing but love. He is crazy about his sissy and you love him right back. You have been the most amazing mama’s little helper and your curiosity keeps growing more and more. You want to learn how to cook, how to tell time, how to read and write and to color the right way. The consistency is a bit lacking but you sure are eager to learn. You love asking “why”? and not just a word “why” but you always make sure to put it in a huge sentence and demand an answer. You have showed your mommy that she has amazing patience that even she did not know she had. I love teaching you new thigns and telling you new stories. I absolutely love reading to you and your excitement about every story I read to you. I treasure our moments with projects which you love dearly and give your fullest effort in every activity I give you. You have began to enjoy toys more, you have always loved puzzles and books, but now you actually like toys. The dolls are not your forte just yet, but you seem to warm up more and more towards playing with them. You have acquired a friend that you do not like to part with no matter where we are going. Whether it’s a super quick trip to the store or for a long road trip, you always make sure that he is right by your side. You call him “Misha” who is your “brown bear”. Your relationship with “Misha” started off when you found him wearing a bow and you gave him a name of a “present bear” . Since then you two have become best buddies and you make sure to include him in every little thing you do. Your very favorite activity is probably dancing with him. You love to dance and you are so great at it. Mama will sign you up for dancing classes again. I truly believe you will keep enjoying it. I loved taking you to the Nutcracker and watch your little eyes light up when you saw your first real ballerina. You told your nana and mama that you will dance on stage like that one day and I can not wait to see you dance up there. You are gentle, girly, strong spirited, you love bows, dresses, puzzles, lolly pops, your plasma car, you love outdoors, you love to trace, color, build towers, play with balls, you love to run, take walks, go on trips and so much more. You have been sleeping in your big girl bed for over a year now and just recently you asked to take your bumpers out. Your daddy and I almost cried, because that was just another great reminder that you are growing up. Sweet baby girl, your daddy and I truly believe that you will go far in life as long as you keep God in your heart at all time. You love God dearly and talk about Jesus quite frequently. It makes our hearts happy 🙂 We love you very much and are very excited for the years to come. Kisses sweet baby girl!
Letter to Joshy (lil’ brother) – 1 Year
My sweet Joshy bug, you turned ONE. What a blessing that God gave you your first year of life, nothing but praise goes to Him! You are my bundle of joy that keeps on giving. Your smile is contagious and your busy spirit just makes things so much more exciting in our home. The day you were born and the second I got to hold you, you stole my heart. You are the most handsome little boy I have ever seen and I want you to always remember that. Since day one, we have been watching you blossom and take on life the way you perceive it, with open arms. You love everything about life, new food, places, people, but you definitely love home. The reason I know that is because every time we go away for a short while and bring you home, you just get ecstatic. You have a strong personality just like your mommy, daddy and sissy. We are not surprised, we only pray that God will use this amazing personality to take you further and further in life where God can be proud to call you His child. Some of the things you have been enjoying this first year: jumperoo, trying new food and just food in general, crawling, playing with toys (you love toys and I love that about you. You take your time to make sure you play with each toy) With the amount of toys you and your sissy have, it makes my heart happy that you appreciate them. You absolutely love your sissy Bella and you say her name about ten times a day. You light up every time you see her and when she plays with you, you have the best time. I praise God for these precious moments you and your sissy get to share. Ever since you learned to shake your head “no” you have been letting us know what you like and what you don’t. I still smile every time you shake your head but you always listen when mommy or daddy asks you to try whatever it is that you are shaking your head “no” to. So far, you have been a good little listener. You say many words already, some of the ones from the top of my head, ball, Bella, mama, daddy, apple, chandelier, water, bread, thank you, pear, toy, papa, thank you, grape, nana, and of course yeah!!! . (I absolutely love the passion in your voice and excitement). You started walking on January 22nd and you have not stopped since. You enjoy every minute that you get to explore new things. You love kisses and you love to be held by people that you love, you love to be outdoors and you love to dance. You are very ticklish and love to laugh. You are my precious jewel and I cannot wait to watch more and more as God molds you into a Godly young man. I love you my prince!
