"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is you-er than you." ~ Dr. Seuss
What a beautiful day you gave to me :) A card, a smile, a flower, a giggle and a full night's sleep in your own bed!!! You wore your "natural beauty" shirt and your ruffle cropped leggings - so adorable.
I love being your mom. I love you when you squeal in delight. I love your chuckle. I love your bottom lipped pout. I love your fat little fist and the way your hand opens and grabs tightly on my shirt when you nurse. I love watching your little legs spread across and bounce on my lap and you suck quietly. I love that smile when you nurse; I watch you break your latch quickly enough to shoot me this funny little smile and then resume eating. Your eyes almost disappear behind your cheeks when you smile like that. I love that you play in your exerciszer like you've been doing in for years; you turn in circles somehow too which amazes me. I love that you will stare at me for minutes at a time, expressionless, until I smile at you and then you jump and laugh and smile back. I love your fuzzy head. It is very very blonde and very very soft. I love waking up with you and cuddling until we hear Owen call for us and then we drag ourselves to his room - warm and tired. That is, until, Owen yells HI and you laugh and reach for his face. I love that you love your daddy! He picks you up really high and then brings you down to him and you go crazy!!! You legs bend and it looks like you are skydiving :) You have your daddy wrapped around your finger already, believe me. Work it, girl :)
I love you, my daughter. Some day you may find yourself a mother and only then may you find a SLIVER of how I love you.
