Cuddles Are For Struggles.

Gemma,

We successfully made it through yet another challenging day. I'm well aware that there are many of those days ahead but I've found that rejoicing in the small victories is beneficial for our disposition. Our little family is growing stronger each day and watching that progression is remarkable. Your father and I love each other more despite the trials we face on a day-to-day (sometimes hour-to-hour) basis. We aren't perfect parents nor are we perfect to each other but we are perfect for each other and you are perfect for us. 

We love on you, stare at you, talk to you and cuddle with you all the time. You are beautiful, my girl. Your smile makes my heart want to burst with joy. Your coos make my days better. Your hair is growing thicker and those bald spots aren't so bald. Your cheeks! OH your cheeks! I want to kiss them all the time! You are happiest when you're spoken to. You love interacting with others. You also love when I nibble on your long toes and that little neck of yours hiding under that delicious double chin. You are so loved by everyone but especially by us. We think you're an incredible little human. 

I took these photos of you yesterday, August 10th, 2014. The first real photos I have taken of you. You were 10 weeks, 1 day old. We spent the afternoon at your Uncle Nate and Aunt Joy's house for a change of scenery.







Always,
Mama
