Life has never been so beautiful

Dear sweet Reagan, 

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful these last few months have been. You have grown so much — you crawl, walk (holding onto our hands), pull up, wave like crazy, and know three words (“hi,” “bye,” and “puppy”). We couldn’t be more proud of you or more in love with you. 

You make every day brighter. You are our little sunshine. Even on the toughest days, you bring a kind of joy that I have never experienced before.  I feel blessed beyond measure — from the moment I wake up to sound of you babbling in your crib to the moment I put you down to bed, peaceful in my arms. Every day with you has so much beauty. 

Being your mother has been the greatest privilege of my life. 

I love you forever and always, no matter what. 

Mom
