Dear Mikah,

Dear Mikah,

You are two months old! Whew, how time flies...You have been such a delight and joy in our lives and though it's only been 10 weeks I can't remember what our days were like before you.  You started sleeping through the night just last week.  I was just starting to wonder when you would drop that middle of the night feeding.  Though i'm happy to be getting a little more sleep myself, I find myself still waking up around that 4-5 o'clock hour and i'm slightly sadden at not getting to hold you close in the still of the night- just me and just you.

You love, love, love your sister.  You always give her a big smile when she comes near and believe me, she absolutely adores  you.  She is constantly talking about you, hugging and kissing all over you.  When she hears you cry, she makes sure to come tell me, "baby mikah crying momma" and every once in awhile she gets a pouty face and tears up when you cry.  She also likes to make sure you have a paci near. I have to constantly tell her not the shove it in your mouth.  You don't care too much for the good ole paci, your sister on the other hand...

You love to be held upright and patted on the back. You love to be in your vibrating seat when we are all in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, or eating.  Kensleigh likes to climb up on the counter and get in your seat too.  I'm waiting for the day she just sits right on top of you.  You follow my voice and look all around and when you find me you always give me a big smile; it melts my heart.  You grab and put the death grip on my hair; i've definitely had to start wearing it up more. You do this sort of  half laugh/cackle; it's really sweet.  You are a great sleeper and a great little eater.  When I first brought you home I thought I'd never get anything done because you ate so much.  But after about two weeks you fell into a good little 3 hour routine and have stuck with it ever since.

I was a little worried about having a baby boy, but you've made it easy.  You are such a sweet little blessing in my life.  I didn't realize how much my heart could love, until I had you.

I  love you,

Your Momma
