Dear Kate (with heart!)

I’ve mentioned before how Kate is very close to me. I cannot begin to describe how much I love her and how delighted I am that we are this close. I hope that we’ll always be this close; though I know that the dynamics of the relationship will evolve and change. So right now, I’m truly revelling in our love.. and here’s some pictorial proof of it.

The husband surprised me with this MMS just moments ago! He’d snapped it this morning while both K & I were sleeping. I so heart this picture!

Dear Kate,

You turn 15 months today. The past 15 months have been the best time in my life – you have strengthened the love and communication between your Papa and I. You have taught me to not sweat the little stuff & to focus on what’s important in life. You have given me confidence, strength and wisdom in parenting, making me a better woman. You make me laugh, you make me exasperated, you make me so happy and proud to be your Mother. You are a little person now, expressing yourself very clearly in your demands and wants; going to places that you want to, taking things on your own, mimicking everything that you see and hear. You respond to us so lovingly, giving us smiles & hugs freely; you are my sunshine, my love, my everything.

Thank you for being the best baby in the world. I love you.

Love, Mommy
