Even though I am pretty much talking to myself, I am okay with that. So here it goes.

Dear Lilah,

Hello my darling. I don’t think this letter could even justify the amount of love I have for you inside of my heart. I did not think it was possible to feel this way about another human being until I had you. From the minute I heard you cry I knew I was in love. When the doctors handed you to me I was mesmerized. You are currently 9 months old and weigh only about 17 pounds. You babble like there is no tomorrow. The only things you say most of the time are dada and baba. You have three teeth, and you can crawl pretty good now. You also are standing up in your crib. You never sit still, and I mean NEVER. You keep your parents on their toes. You have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Whenever I am upset or having a bad day you brighten my day with those big bright eyes and beaming smile. The joy you have blessed me with these last few months is unexplainable. Watching you grow and come into your personality is amazing. I have never been more blessed in my entire life than I am right now. You are beyond perfect. No one can ever tell me otherwise. When I am away from you, I miss you like crazy. It has only been 9 short months, but you have completely flipped my life upside down, and in the best way possible. When your little hands reach for me with that perfect smile I can’t help but fall deeper and deeper in love with you. I cannot wait to see where your life takes you. No matter where your mommy and daddys life go remember we are forever your number one fans. We are behind you one hundred percent. When you are going through a rough time we will be here to pick up the pieces. When you fall I will be here to catch you. When you are lost I will find you. Today marks nine months you have entered the world. Nine months of learning and adventure. Nine months of watching you grow right in front of my very eyes. Nine months of building a strong bond no one will ever break. This has been nine months of pure bliss. You have changed my life for the better. You forever hold a permanent spot in my heart. You are forever my little girl and I would not change my life for the world. I am blessed to be the mother of an amazing little girl. You complete my life Lilah Candice and I hope one day you can look back and know the love I have for you now will only continue to grow. You are my saving grace, and my best friend. I am never going to leave you. I will be by your side until the day the good Lord takes me from you. You are what I live for. I sacrifice everything just so you will never go without. You are my absolute world, and I cannot wait for you to read this. I love you munchkin happy nine months.

Love,

Mommy.
