It is times like these that I must remind myself of all the things I love about my dear baby. When she wakes me from my needed night's rest to spit up all over me then nurse for 5 minutes at a time and stay awake for hours when I know she's really just as tired as I am. So she lays swaddled and drowsy and I'm hoping she will nod off again soon. Until then, I must remind myself of all the reasons I'm in love with her. So here goes...
I love when Amelia...
- ...smiles in the morning and reminds me of all the newness and possibilities of a day not yet begun.
- ...smiles in her sleep. It makes me wonder what she dreams of and I pray those dreams come true since they make her so happy.
- ...smiles while nursing. She is so happy to be full of milk and snuggled close.
- ...smiles anytime. I basically live for that gummy grin.
- ...looks up at me with this coy/shy smirk. I predict this will one day be the look I get when she's begging to stay out past curfew.
- ...pouts. I know I should be sad when she is sad but who can help but smile at her adorable pout?!
- ...is fussy and nursing is the only thing that soothes her, her eyes roll back and relief washes over her face.
- ...is all tuckered out from a cranky fit and falls asleep on my chest.
- ...squeals with delight. It may get old on a road trip someday.
- ...giggles. Its a rare occurance but what a glorious sound to behold!
So in summary I have two words: Worth It.
