Letter Month 30

Dear Sena,

I'm writing this letter while "wearing" your baby sister in hopes of keeping/getting her to sleep. You, on the other hand are soundly asleep.

The last month has been a sleepless blur for your papa and I as we adjust to life as a family of four and try to remember how to care for a newborn. (It's amazing how much you forget!) You've done so well with the transition, honey. You've watched with interest how we take care of Noa and even took your baby and sat in a little squishy ball last night to bounce her to sleep. Of course, you would like more one-on-one time with everyone, but since grandma Sheree has been here nearly every day we've been able to give you a lot of what you need. Only once in a while do you recommend that we put Noa down.

I know this is a huge shift in your world, yet looking back you may not remember a time when we were a family of three. Your papa and I will however. There are so many amazing moments we've had over the last 2 1/2 years- all of which led us to want to give you a sibling.. and have another child. We feel so incredibly blessed to have you- to watch you as you discover the world, as you learn how to communicate, and as you learn how to convey your needs. (You're pretty good at all of these things.) You are such a light in my day and in your papa's day. So, although this letter was meant to share with you and the world all of your amazing accomplishments this last month- the main one that we're enjoying is that you truly are the best Big Sister Noa could ask for.

We love you honey,
love
mama
