Mattie Claire ~ 8 Months

Dear Mattie,

Happy Valentine's!  There is no one on this earth that I want to express my love to more than you.  You will always have a piece of my heart with you, and you will always be my special little Valentine.  I know your daddy and brothers would have loved to lavish lots of sweet hugs and kisses on you for Valentine's too.  When we celebrated Valentine's last year, I just knew that would be my last one where I got all the attention from those boys because I knew that this year, they would be so crazy about you and would want to spoil you rotten.  You are still Daddy's special little Valentine and princess.  When I think of what you would look like and sound like and be doing now, I can't believe it.  You are only a few months away from being a year old.  You would be laughing, crawling, eating lots of new foods, playing with your big brothers' toys and probably making them mad, and maybe even trying to walk.  I know you would be stealing hearts wherever you went as the sweetest and cutest little angel around.  You would have us all wrapped around those sweet little fingers.

You may have looked a little like this:

Big Brother Evan

or

Big Brother Brody

Here are a few outfits you may have worn this month:

This was an outfit that I had purchased for you last year anticipating your first Valentine's day. 

A sweet little onesie with love bunnies on it for our little love bunny!  This would definitely have been a piece that I would have had to purchase from Janie & Jack.  I cannot resist the bunnies.  

One of the Valentine's dresses you may have worn with your sweet name embroidered on it.

Or this one. 

And I like this one too. 

Another great option for you. 

Mostly, we would have just enjoyed showing you so many things this month.  We will always love you, sweet baby girl!

Love,
Mommy
