A Letter to Averi: One Month

Oh my baby girl,

Daddy and I are so glad you have joined our family.

Your big brother really loves you too. He is always asking to "hold Avi" and you love it.


When you were born, we had to stay in the hospital more than one day because you had jaundice. You had to wear a mask to protect your eyes from the lights. I'm so sorry that you couldn't see the world for 12 hours. It hurt our hearts to have you like that for so long.

We were able to go home after that was over though!

We went to Grandma & Grandpa's house to watch the Super Bowl. Nana and Poppy were still there too. Of course, Brother had to hold you again. =)

We got to take new family pictures. Did I mention we love you?!

You went to your first play date when you were only 5 days old. Brother got to hang out with his friends and you got to be outside with Mommy and her friends.

Brother loves laying down next to you and telling you "Hi" whenever he can. He even lets you lay down on his bed!

You went to church for the first time when you were 10 days old. It was 2 days before Valentine's Day so we made sure you wore an outfit with hearts on it.

Mommy has even started letting you lay down on your activity mat.

You don't hate tummy time yet...and you even hold your own head up for a few seconds at a time! That means you have really strong neck & back muscles already!

I'm pretty sure you like being outside as much as Brother does. You tend to stop crying when I take you on the back porch or to the park with us.






Brother has started to share his toys with you. Well, at least showing them to you and trying to get you to hold them. He can't wait until you can actually see them and hold them.

You make our family so much better.

I am not struggling to love you and bond with you as much as I did with your brother. I think it's because I knew a little bit of what was coming with a new baby this time. You are such a sweet girl that it's pretty easy to love you. You are a wonderful addition to our family. You are making us all better people. I cannot wait until your little personality starts to show and you become your own person, not just a sleepy, hungry baby.

"I love you all the way to the moon...and back."
Mommy
