Letter to Blair - 1 Month Old

Beautiful Blair,

My sweet, sweet Blair.  I am so happy that you are part of our family.  I feel so lucky to have a daughter.  You have been so much fun.  You are so calm and chill -- and with your hyper brother -- I really appreciate that.  You are a good eater and you have been a fairly good sleeper (we are still working on this).  It has been so nice having a summer baby, we have been able to get out a bit and enjoy summer.  Mia and her family were in town this month, so we have been on the go.  I have recently started to lay low and let you nap and get on a schedule.

Your father has turned into quite the 'Papa Bear'.  He loves you so much and is so protective of you.  We were able to bless you a couple of weeks ago.  We blessed you on a Monday night at Momo & Papa's house.  Our whole family was there - which is a bit of a miracle in itself.  Your dad blessed you with beauty, confidence, intelligence, health, mental health, that you would be active, guidance by the spirit, that you could make a decision and stick with it, that you would look to your grandmas as examples, that you would have the power of prayer, that you would meet a good man, that you would have a close relationship with your heavenly father and that you are a choice daughter of your Father in Heaven.  It was a really neat blessing and afterwards we had a big party with a taco truck to celebrate.

My transition as a mother of two has been much easier than becoming a mom for the first time.  I am very tired and busy, but other than that it hasn't been too bad.  Davis still calls you 'bayybeee seeester'.  He loves to dance and I always laugh when he says 'Dance baby sister'.

This first month you have already been on a couple family getaways.  We rented a cabin in Alta for Oliver's 30 birthday and we stayed at the Cliff Lodge in Snowbird so that Oliver could do a bike race.  We are excited to take you more places (once you start sleeping more).

Everyone in the family loves you so much.  My sisters can't get enough of you, your grandparents love you, and especially your parents and brother.  Thank you for coming to our family...we can't wait to take you on many adventures.

Love,

Mom.
