Dear Stela,

You are the sweetest little baby that ever existed! I adore you so much! I think it is in part due to the fact that by the third kid I kind of know what I am doing, but also it is a good chunk that you are pure perfection! You smile now. A lot. And recently you started cooing. It is so cute to see you finding your voice. I notice it so much with you because you don't make much noise otherwise. You very rarely cry so hearing sound out of you is unexpected. And then the sounds that do come from you are so, so sweet. You are especially happy in the mornings. But just now as I was putting you to sleep you kept smiling and cooing. I would look down and see eyes closed. And then the next time I would look you would be smiling. When I smiled back you cooed. My heart melted. The first time you did it tonight you were almost asleep and I kissed your forehead. A big smile spread across your face. I guess at 7 weeks old you already understand that a kiss on the forehead means is a symbol of pure love. You are the best baby girl! I love you so much and I am so excited to be your mama and to watch you grow and spend so much time with you.

Love,
Mama

PS Did I tell you that you are sleeping through the night? You have been doing it for a couple of weeks now. You sleep from about 10pm to 5am. Amazing! It could have something to do with me reading all those books about French parenting when I was pregnant with you and the ways their babies "do their nights" by two months old and the tricks and technics I learned. But it could also have something to do with the fact that you are just a sweet, sweet baby. Either way, I love you for it!
