Category Archives: Letters to my Daughter Dear Charlotte, I’m having a difficult time with your letter this month, little one. I wanted to talk to you about change and about people coming and going in your life and about how Mama will always come back to you. Except, I get worried when I say that – because what if something...  Dear Charlotte, One day when you’re a big girl, you’re going to be very excited about turning double digits. Today we get a taste of that: you’re ten months old! Since this is indeed a special day, I thought your letter should be a little unique to reflect the occasion. So in honor of your...  Dear Charlotte, This past month has been an adventure! Since I wrote your last letter, we sold our home, welcomed Uncle Ben back to the states, moved to temporary living, and have become roommates. You are learning at a very young age the meaning of “go with the flow.” Last month I wrote about how...  Dear Charlotte, As you turn eight months old, I continue to think you are the most special baby around. You have the most curious brown eyes, the most adorable little voice, and the most ridiculous of crawls. (I mean that as a compliment, little girl; being an original is a good thing.) Rather than talk...  Dear Charlotte, Sweet girl, where have the months gone? How is it that over half a year has passed since we first laid eyes on one another? I’ll never forget our first moments together; you were mere seconds old when you were placed in my arms. I gazed at you and knew you; I laid...  Dear Charlotte, Happy Half Birthday, little miss! I sang to you today and you smiled – even though I was a little out of tune. I can hardly believe that six full months have gone by since you came into our lives – amazing. On the one hand, it seems like yesterday that you were...  December 29th, 2010 Dear Charlotte, Today you turn five months – hurrah! It is hard to believe that so much time has gone by already – and it is almost impossible to believe that you were ever only 6.5 pounds. In fact, while I usually don’t talk “numbers” in your letters, I think it’s time...  Dear Charlotte, Oh my; this has been such a very full month that I couldn’t even finish your letter yesterday as you turned four months old; I needed a whole extra day to fit everything in! And even now, I hardly know where to begin; you just keep growing and delighting us each new day....  October 29, 2010 Dear Charlotte, Today you turn three months and, goodness, are we in love with you! You are a baby full of personality: pensive at times, grumpy occasionally, and sweet so often. This has been a big month of milestones for you and I believe it is safe to say that you are...  September 29, 2010 Dear Charlotte, Today you are two months old and, my, you have become such a happy baby! In the weeks surrounding your first month, I sometimes wondered if the crying would ever stop – and this was very difficult not just for our ears but more so for our hearts. Your Nannie,...  August 29, 2010 Dear Charlotte, Today you are one month old and, oh, how my world has changed in these last thirty days. Your Daddy & I spent so much time in joyous and eager preparation for your arrival. We would spend nights laying in the dark talking about our plans for you and our... |
