One month old, already? Where does the time go?

I cannot believe that I am typing about your first month already! If time continues to go this fast, I am going to have to document every move so that we don't miss anything. You have brought us such joy in this first month of life! The family seems complete now that you are here! Your brothers are so in love with you! Everytime they see you they have to touch and kiss on you. Your dad, oh your dad, he is in love with his little girl! It is the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time. I love watching him, watch you! The tenderness and love he has towards you makes me love him even more! You were truly the miracle that we have always dreamed of and the perfect Christmas present. Thank you for making our family a better family!
