a year later honey

your eyes change colors

in the morning they are a cool silver grey, at night they can look like coal. most of the time they are a rich moss green, like your dads ....you also got his thick black hair, your lovely bow lips i credit him with , and your warm golden skin.

your dads name is marlon muniz cruz. he escaped from cuba when he was 19 and was very good to me while we dated; i met him on christmass eve 2oo6 and told him how i longed for you. he was an extraordinary man, because he gave me the gift of you.

you are my christmas wish, the answer to my prayers.

my darling angel

you are so beautiful i can't sleep stay awake to watch you smiling in your dreams
now you are up you are teething...its 3am and i am going to massage your gums and cuddle you to sleep

Dear Sophie,

I am writing to you now while you are in my belly because I am so happy you are here! Maybe you will be like me: very curious, a little kooky, a lot in love with life...maybe you'll be very different than me. You are a mystery right now and yet, I want you to know that I am in love with you.

I want you to know about me, about your family and about how excited I am to meet you. So this blog is my personal journal to you. When ever you want to read it...you will know how your mom felt about you. I have waited a really long time for you. This makes you extra special.

You are already loved, anticipated. cherished and extraordinary. I love you.
mom
