Dear Janessa,
Today is your 5 month birthday. I cannot believe how the time is rushing by despite my demands for it to slow down. Today I passed on your outgrown baby clothes to someone who needed them more than I. It was incredibly hard to do. I had a huge lump in my throat as I let go of your tiny little clothes that it seems just yesterday were too big.
My precious little baby--you are so curious and interested in the world around you and so eager to be grown up but I just want to hold you and freeze time. In my mind you are still my tiny infant, but then you beg to taste our food, try to scoot across the floor, and stand any chance you get . . . but most telling of all is how your clothes keep getting smaller and smaller.
I am trying so hard to treasure each little moment, but if you could just slow down a little and be my little baby girl a while longer, I wouldn't mind at all.

So touching. I am desperately trying to hold back the tears. Why do they grow so fast?
She is so beautiful! I know the past is hard to let go, but the future is great too! Immagine all the mommy-daughter dates and the long talks as you spend "girl" time together....
Just enjoy making memories, you have your memories forever!
