Celebrating 6 months of Xia Bliss

Dearest Daughter, Xia Bliss -
Where have these past 6 months gone? I cannot remember life without you and don't want to. You have made your mom and dad's life complete. I totally and utterly adore you, sweet girl:). You are are an amazing daughter. I love the way you wake up smiling and keep smiling all day long, the way you grab your toes while nursing, the way you laugh at the silly faces and sounds we make, your wet, open mouth "kisses", and the precious sounds you make. Everything about you is perfect.

Sheer amazement describes your birth-day best. Your labor and birth went better than expected, and oh how happy I was when you were delivered and in our arms after 9 long months of waiting! I just wanted to stare at your beautiful face and your perfect little body. I will never forget your dads glow that day. He never left your side. We finally named you 10 hours after your birth... Our little angel, Xia Bliss Garcia.

These past months have seemed like a blur; a real whirlwind of excitement. Around 2 weeks is when you started making "coo"ing sounds. It was the sweetest sound I have ever heard. At 5.5 weeks we started putting you on your floor mat. You loved it! You enjoyed looking at all the bright colored toys. You would get excited and kick one of your legs! 3 months marked one solid week you slept through the night for 7-10 hour stretches. It was a treat while it lasted! Bibs became apart of your wardrobe as you started drooling, drooling, drooling! At 4 months you started eating solid foods. You love to eat and I love feeding you! You open up and say "ummmm" with each bite! It's so precious. You smiled and laughed so much more this month. It was also time to move you to your crib... And you've successfully been sleeping there since. 5 months has been filled with "big girl" things like, rolling over and sitting up. You also took your first plane ride to see your Great Granny Dill and your dad's sister and her family in CA. Every stage has been amazing and I always look forward to see what the next one has in store.

Thank you, Xia, for making me the happiest, most proud, and satisfied Mother in the whole entire world! Stay sweet, lovable, and kissable:). Te amo, mi amor. I love you with all my heart, Mommy
