Dear Baby Girl,
You are 11 months old! Yes, today. It makes me so excited. Just to think how you are growing. And getting older. Things that I pray for every day. Since the day you were born, I've prayed that we'd have years and years together. Now I can see that as a reality.
It's crazy. I'm so excited that you are growing. I know, most parents are upset when their kiddos grow. They want them to be small for a longer period of time. Not your mommy! I'm so happy that you are finally wearing 3 month clothing. I often wondered if this day would come.
This month, has just been one of so much joy. You are doing so many things, that just a short while ago, you couldn't do. You've been breastfeeding. At least twice a day. The entire feed. I'm so proud of you! Not too long ago, that would tire you out. And we would have to feed you, through your feeding tubes.
But the best thing, is how alert you are. How you concentrate on us. All of us. You listen to everything we all have to say. You coo and smile. Baby Girl, you are just so amazing! I LOVE to watch you play. How you grab your toys, and get so excited. It just warms my heart so much.
Recently, you and your Papa Bear, like to watch cartoons. You've always enjoyed reading. But now, he's teaching you all about Sesame Street. The two of you sit and laugh. He makes the silliest voices when he talks to you. Just so he can get you to smile.
Speaking of your Papa Bear, he just LOVES YOU! Yes, I know this. I've never doubted it. He just adores spending time with you. Calling you his Little Monkey. I know that you love him too. You just light up. Every time you see him, or hear him. I'm so glad that your Papa Bear is in our lives. :)
Uncle B is also getting a lot more used to you. He's never been too comfortable with babies. But he is really trying. He holds you. And has learned how to swaddle you. Just the way you like it. The most hilarious thing, Uncle B went shopping for you. And he came back with so many outfits. We had a Baby Fashion Show. And Uncle B just loved seeing you all dressed up.
Your Nono is so excited too! I don't know what all these secrets are, that he tells you. I'm thinking it has something to do with your Nana. I know that he loves both of you. And maybe, just maybe, you can convince your Nana to give him a break. Wouldn't that be fun. To have them together, and near us? But your Nono is waiting, counting down the days, until you guys share your birthday. He's so excited. I have a feeling he's planning something fun for you!
Speaking of your Nana, she LOVES YOU SO MUCH! I used to think that your Nana and I were close. Dear Baby Girl, I know that she loves you even more than that. Something that I never knew was possible. Until I saw her with you. Sweet Baby Girl, she not only sends you the most beautiful gifts. But your Nana calls you all the time. To talk. To see how you're doing. And she finds us all the best doctors.
Oh sweet Baby Girl, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I pray all the time. I want you to get better. I pray that God will make that possible. I pray all the time, that we can live the life that I've dreamt us. The life that I want for us. I pray all the time, that we will get a long, long life together.
All of your accomplishments, and milestones, mean so much to me. I cry every time you are able to do something new. It means the world to me. Sweet Baby Girl, keep fighting. I want you to live. Know that I'll never give up on you. I'll always fight to keep you safe and healthy. All you need to do, is keep getting better.
Now your mommy needs to go start planning your birthday party. It's not going to be the way I had dreamt of. Of a big birthday party. With all of our friends. At our home. I wish that we could do that. But I'm going to plan something, just as special. To celebrate you. Just one month away! I can't wait! Happy 11 Months!
Love,
Mommy

10 Months
Dear Baby Girl,
You are 10 months old today! Yes, you are getting older. And a little bigger. Which I'm so excited about! It looks like the doctors are finally figuring out what's wrong. They've been so good to both of us. But lately, they seem to know more and more, what's going on. How to make you all better. I'm so glad!
I Thank God all the time. For you. He gave me you, to make my life better. He brought us together, to make us stronger. I'm so glad! I know realize, my life used to be so boring. Without purpose. Or meaning. Now, I know that there is a purpose to my life. I know that I'm supposed to be here. To take care of you.
Your Papa Bear just adores you! He's always so excited to come and see you. And he really does cry, every week, when he has to leave. Who would have thought? But you just make everybody want to love you. And HE LOVES YOU! So much. You're always on his mind.
I'm pretty sure the feelings are mutual. You get so excited when you hear him. Even if it's just on the phone, or on TV. You kick your little legs. And you look for him. Forget it, when you see him! It's just the most amazing thing in the world! He really is your Daddy. In every meaning of Daddy, he's all that, plus more, to you.
We're getting closer to your 1st birthday. And your Mommy is getting so excited! I never dreamt that this is the way it would be. I thought we'd be home. Celebrating with all of our friends. Well, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. :)
I'm so proud of you though. How much you are growing. And how alert you are becoming. You eat like a champ! And the doctors keep telling me, that's a very good sign. Your Uncle B just loves to watch you. How you get so happy with your toys. The toys your Nana made you.
Speaking of your Godparents. They love you so much! At least once a day, they call you. Just to check in. And to talk to you. Yes, in those silly little voices. I'm positive that I made the right decision. They are the most amazing Godparents to you. And love you so much! If only we could convince them, to have some playmates for you! :)
Uncle B is also happy, that he gets to be in your life. He's still a little nervous about holding you. Forget about changing you! But he is really enjoying being your uncle. We're all the family that we have. Blood family that is. You, me, and Uncle B. But we are so lucky. Having such great friends. That love us. And who have become our family.
Baby Girl, there is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for you. I hope you know that. Always, forever and eternity, I'll be here for you. Protecting you. Making you bigger, and stronger. Making sure you are an amazing person. Filled with God's love. I'll always be here for you. Happy 10 months! We're just beginning this thing called life. And I'm so happy that we get to do this together. You and me!
Love,
Mommy
