To Aliya on your 3 month birthday

Aliya,
You are 3 months old today and you couldn't be more beautiful. I am so proud of you, for you have accomplished a lot in your short 3 months but I am also sad to see my little baby grow up so fast. I can’t believe you are a quarter of a year old. You've grown and changed so much in the last 3 months. You are no longer an infant and now you are definitely my chunky chalula as you weigh almost 15 lbs - all courtesy of mommy as you have been exclusively breastfed so far. You have outgrown your 0-3 month clothes and I am having a really hard time retiring your outfits even though your toes have no room to wiggle and you can’t stretch out straight in them. You found your hands and it is so fun to watch you check them out and learn how to use them, though I don’t like that you constantly stuff them in your mouth. You smile and coo and are starting to giggle which melts me to pieces. You love to dance and play with Daddy. You love music, any kind. You also talk so much; I love hearing all about your day and can’t wait to hold a conversation with you. I love to watch you sleep with your legs all over the place. You have stopped sleeping with your hand stretched out over your head and I miss it terribly. I also miss my little shark baby. Mommy, of course, thinks you are the cutest baby there ever was. You have chubby cheeks and chunky thighs that make everyone smile. You are our perfect baby and you were worth the wait. I can't imagine not having you in my life .I don't think there is a day that goes by that your Daddy and I don't look at each other and wonder how we got so lucky. How did we combine to make such a perfect little person? You have definitely changed our lives. Thank you for being our baby. I love you with all of my heart.
Love, Mommy
