To My Youngest:

Dear Tait,

It has only been five months since I birthed you, yet it feels like I've known you forever. Never in my wildest dreams could I have predicted I would be the mother of six, but I'm so glad that I am. Your sweet, gentle spirit has made me a better mother. I love when you look at me and immediately get a huge gummy grin. I love the sound of your laugh and the way that you smell.
I love that you look like your dad because I love him too. I love your chubby cheeks and fat feet.

I hope that you will always be patient with me because I'm so not perfect. I hope you will forgive me as I make many parenting mistakes. I hope you will feel the love of your family around you and know that you are special. But, most of all, I hope you know how much your mom adores you and wants you to be happy.

Thank you for all the joy you bring into our home.

Love,

Mom
