Dear Alice,
Can it really already be twelve weeks since you were first placed in my arms? It's been such a whirlwind that I feel like I haven't been able to devote nearly as much time to you as I got to with your brother when he was as little as you are now. I try not to feel guilty about it since it's beyond my control, but I still sometimes feel bad that you don't get the undivided attention that you deserve.
Last week, you showed me how well you've learned to hold your head up. You're still not a big fan of tummy time, but every day we get a few more minutes out of you. Soon enough you'll be rolling around. Just don't grow up too quickly, ok?
Love, Mama

Eleven Weeks
Dear Alice,
Smiling must be your favorite because you spent all weekend doing nothing but smiling at me. I can't believe how quickly you seem to picking up on things! You were trying to copy faces I was making at you along with all of those smiles you were giving me. It made me laugh so much! You're growing so fast and beginning to have such a wonderful personality. Don't grow too quickly though, baby. We've got all the time in the world!
Love, Mama

Ten Weeks Plus three
Dear Alice,
Daddy and I finally heard you laugh! It was so sweet and a little raspy. I just couldn't believe how wonderful it would sound when we finally heard it. I can't wait for you to laugh as much and as often as Aidan does. I want our home to always be filled with the sound of laughter.
You've now officially missed your two month check up twice. There have been some issues with getting you adding to our insurance that we thought was finally cleared up, but when Daddy took you this morning for your appointment, you still hadn't been added. Hopefully after today, it'll all be sorted out, and we can finally see how much you've grown since your two week check up.
Love, Mama

Nine Weeks
Dear Alice,
Today I caught you smiling at a toy for the very first time. I laid you in your crib so I could get your brother ready for the day, and when I cam back, you had the brightest smile on your face. It was magical!
Today is also your first Christmas Eve. Daddy and I can't wait to start new traditions with you and your brother. We're keeping up with the old tradition from my younger days of pajamas on Christmas Eve. I just can't wait to share this wonderful season of joy and love with you!

Eight Weeks
Dear Alice,
I wish I had thought to start this sooner, but since you haven't really done much these first few weeks, I'm not too worried. Today, you are eight weeks old. I can't believe how quickly these past couple of months have gone by. It's so trite to say it, but I feel like it was just last week that you were being placed on my chest after your birth.
Daddy and I hit the baby jackpot when you were born. You've been such a sweet and sleepy baby that we weren't even sure if you knew what crying was for the first few weeks. You're still sweet and rather sleepy, but now you've found your voice and like to let us know when you're not happy (although, you're still fairly quiet when you do cry). You're more wakeful during the day now as well which makes for interesting play time with your brother. He likes to kiss you and pat your head, and you like to stare lovingly at him. It's really sweet to see.
Your biggest accomplishment so far has been smiling. Your first smile came about a week later than your brother's first, but since then you've gotten more and more smiley with each passing day. You seem to love it when other people smile at you which makes you smile which then makes us smile. It's just a circle of smiles all around!
Daddy, Aidan, and I love you so much and can't wait to see what the rest of your first year has in store for you.
Love, Mama
