Journey Bell,
My little lovebug! What a blessing of a child you have been these three months. You were born just a few days before thanksgiving and you are indeed one of the best gifts. Spending the holidays with a newborn baby reminded me just how important the little things are, like watching you smile for the first time, hearing you coo (especially when Papa talks to you), and capturing the mesmerizing love between you and your sister. Our holidays are always special but these were something really memorable.
Holidays for us also mean spending amazing time with family. You had quite a few visitors and sleepovers in your first three months including some of your aunties, Granny, and plenty of friends. While I love the visitors, some of my favorite moments were just spending alone time with you.
You are such a sweet child. Your spirit is so gentle, you rarely fuss, and love to be loved. You have absolutely beautiful curls, the sweetest face, and your smile lights up a room. I can not stop kissing your chunky little toes and those cheeks are to die for.
During the first few months you had a bit of reflux that caused you some grief, but we worked through it with a lot of nursing, pacifiers, and burp cloths. You also had your first cold and a case of baby acne. But, through it all you rarely expressed a lot of discomfort and just wanted some extra hugs.
You have taken a fondness of Mommy snuggling you in bed and can not stand your co-sleeper or crib. Mommy and Daddy often wake up falling off the bed to make sure you have enough room. Something else you absolutely love is your sister, Genesis. You squirm and giggle so much when she is around. She is very protective over you and makes sure that everyone knows to be “gentle” with you. She brags about you at school daily. I pray that you two remain close throughout life, take care of one another, and remember sisters are our built-in best friends.
Mommy’s recovery has been a little difficult. When I wasnt feeling too well and had to go to the doctor for a while, your family came down and took the best care of you and sissy. You took your first bottle with Auntie Rae Rae like a champ (thank God I had pumped).
Breastfeeding is going well, you love nursing and have already nearly doubled your birth weight. You are moving very quickly through your milestones (holding your head up, following objects with your eyes, and respond to your name). You have done amazing getting through this fourth trimester and I can not wait to continue to watch you grow in the months to come.

Always with love,
Mommy
