She Belongs to Me

I think this every time I look at you. Every time you smile at me and my heart skips a beat. I get to keep you, forever. I will always be able to say, "My daughter..this" and "My daughter..that" and its awesome. The last 2 weeks have been sweet. Full of open mouthed giggles, snuggles at 6 am, and easy going smiles. You just seem to give and give and I soak up everything you have. You are my girl. I wonder how many times I have written that so far. I just light up whenever I get to talk about you. When ladies stop me in Target and say, "Aww she's so sweet, what's her name?" I can feel my whole body lighten and I say MOLLY GENEVIEVE with this stupid smile on my face because..well..you belong to me. *and because your name is wonferful and beautiful and ...YOU.

You, Molly Bird, belong to me (and daddy too of course who is just CRAZY about you) and your little squaks and squeals (ear piercing, for real) are perfectly fitting of the picture of you I had in my mind while you were kicking around in my belly.

I can't believe it has been 3 months. I swear, I will write down your birth story this week! I havent forgotten a single detail, believe me.

You are still sleeping really well and you are just such a calm baby. You can wake up for a nap and just hang out quietly by yourself. I always wonder what you are thinking. I love checking on you, finding you are awake, and you give me that little funny smile. I wonder if you are thinking, "She belongs to me" too? Oh, I hope so. Because I want you to love me, look up to me, and be proud of me.

We went to our firt movie date on Monday with our friends Jackie and Jolie! You slept most of the time but you girls had fun. You also visited your first bowling alley. Again, you slept most of the time but when you were awake you were smiling and checking out all the lights. The family next to us had two teens with them - a girl and a boy. Daddy mentioned that that would be us 13 or so years from now. I hope we'll be cool enough to spend time with..I hope we can instill a strong family tie between the 4 of us. Our family is SO good. Your grandparents are loving and sweet and thoughtful and would do anything for you and Owen. I am glad to have brought you into a world of such GOODness.

Ok well you are waking up from your 5 o clock nap and I want to go kiss those cheeks!

i love you so so much
