This is my first Mother's Day. I have waited so long to celebrate this holiday. I want to thank you for making me a mama. The Lord knew just who I needed and I'm forever grateful that he sent me you.
You are amazing. It's so hard for me to not be consumed with you all day, every day. Not because you are needy, but because I need you. I constantly study you. I don't want to miss or forget anything. Your smile and giggle is absolutely the most wonderful thing I've ever witnessed. You love to flash them at your daddy and me. You use your whole body to smile: flailing your arms, stiffening your legs and scrunching that nose. I can't help but smile back every time. Then there's your kisses. Oh, those open mouthed, juicy, presents. You give them to me more than anyone else and I'm not sad about it. You grab my cheeks and plant a wet one right on the mouth. I. Melt. You are so curious. If you hear any strange noise, you whip that head around and scrunch your brow looking for it. Your resting face is priceless. Your bottom lip sticks out so far or you've got it sucked in. Your cheeks have the perfect amount of rosy tint that makes them look even more juicy. Your sweet little nose has the most adorable curled up tip. I know because I kiss it 261827 times a day. I swear that you have perfect ears, too. They just lay so nicely on your sparsely covered head. Your dark brown hair isn't as thick as I thought it would be, but it's growing and blows in the wind and you love playing with it. Your favorite toys are your chubby fingers and feet. You could chew and roll with them all day. Your arms and legs have a precious contour to them, baby girl. You're so chubby, but in the most beautiful way possible. I kiss every ounce of you because I love to just feel your soft skin. You breathe so sweetly and you talk very loudly. I can't believe how much personality God can put into such a tiny person, but I'm so glad he did!
Your are the reason I finally get to celebrate today. Even though I hope to give you siblings some day, you will always be my first baby. You will always be the one that first made my dreams come true. You will always be the one that made me a mom.
I love you forever, Claire.
