Dear Lola, 

You are fast asleep and instead of hanging out the washing, packing away yesterdays washing, unloading the dishwasher, brushing my hair, putting socks on my cold feet, I choose to sit here and write to you. 
I love you and I love writing, so why not combine the two and start writing you letters to record our sweet days together. It is a sunny winters day and you are 10 months and 8 days old.... and just at this very moment as I sit typing I hear you chatting away in your room – you have just woken up! 
This may not have been the longest first letter, but it is a start and it's been two long hours since I've kissed those cheeks of yours, so I will happily continue this later. I can already tell this is going to be fun!

Your mama x
