Dear Piper –

From the moment that we began our life together, we have a bond that just keeps growing stronger and stronger with each passing day. It’s hard to believe that 18 months worth of days have come and gone. Happy 18 sweet months, Sweet Pea.

Our lives have been filled with so much joy since your arrival 18 months ago. You are such a little character and your little personality is so bright and so beautiful.

We just spent a week on holidays at Gramma and Papa’s and while we there you just seemed to start picking up so many new words. I don’t even know where to begin but your vocabulary and your conversation skills are are blossoming.


Imagine Mommy’s surprise when you pointed to some treats on the kitchen table and said, “I want that.” I have a feeling that is one phrase that I have not heard the last of. You are constantly talking to Mommy and Daddy and telling us all your stories. Most of it is still Piper speak but we enjoy it so very much.

This time last month we were so excited with the news that you were going to be a big sister. Although, that is not to be for our family…. just yet, we are excited about our future as a family. In Mommy’s heart, she knows that there will be more children in her future and that you will someday be a big sister…. and you will be a great big sister. I cannot wait to give that gift to you.

Words cannot express completely what my heart feels when I look at you, when I kiss your sweet forehead while you sleep and when I listen to your giggles and squeals of delight. I am wishing that you have strength for the future, the feeling of seeing a prized dream come true, a bright, carefree spirit, but also the wisdom to know in your heart what is most right for you. And always, I’m hoping that you will remember the thing most important by far: how much you are loved, how proud I am, always, how wonderfully special you are.

Mommy loves you Sweetest Pea,

Love Mama

Do you ever read the QC Report? She records precious things about her daughter too. As does Dooce. (Dooce writes a monthly letter about her daughter, Leta. So dear.)

Piper is just as cute as her name implies! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that age!!! Cherish it – because while the days sometimes seem so very long, the months and years fly by in the blink of an eye.
