Dearest Lydia,
Oh how you have captured our hearts! You are a cuddle bug and a sweetheart. You already love listening to big brother talk to you, read to you, and sing to you. In fact you talk to him the most out of all of us! You also have a special bond with your daddy. The instant he is home from work and you hear his voice, you wake up and cry till he snuggles you!
But many of our days are spent with you on my chest right now, either nursing or cuddling, and I love it! You had a rough time gaining weight your first two weeks in fact you lost 12% of your birth weight and got down to 4lbs 14oz! But once we started supplementing with formula you started gaining again. No one can believe how tiny you are, not even your father and I, we are both so scared of somehow squishing you!
Speaking of which, your brother adores you but he has unintentionally tried to kill you twice now! The first time he didn't like you crying so he shoved a heavy blanket in your face while you were in the car seat, the second time you were crying cause you were hungry and I ran upstairs to pee before leaving to take big brother to school and he put lucky charms cereal in your mouth to try and feed you! Oy! Thankfully he told me right away and I was able to fish them out but man did mommy turn white! It's really a miracle you second borns survive honestly!
Even though you have only been here a month I already can't imagine our lives without you! You are the perfect little addition and we all three love you very much! We are excited to see what God has in store for you but pray you don't grow up too fast. We are soaking up every minute of this because we know someday soon you are gonna be running around with your brother and we are gonna wonder where he time went!
Love you little Princess,
Momma
