Sweet Baby Girl,

This has been the BEST month so far with you... You have experienced new things and learned to do many new things. You amaze me every single day! I've been trying to figure out what my favorite thing about you is. I can't decide if it is how excited you get whenever you see me or the way you are SO persistent when you are trying to do something new or that goofy little sound you make that sounds like an 80-year-old smoker! I guess I don't really have to decide - I love everything about you. Kathryn Elizabeth, you are the most perfect baby girl, and I love you so much.

Love,

Mommy
