Buddies

Before I became a mother I told myself that it would be hard, that I would cry, and that I would be exhausted. I didn't know if I would have the patience for it. I didn't know if I could really be  home with a baby all day. "Won't I get bored?" I thought. "Won't it be lonely?"

 

The answer is "No." Baby girl you have brought so much joy into my life. You have made being a mom so easy and fun. You are always so happy. You feel my heart with happiness.

 

Just like you made me fall in love with being pregnant, you have again made me fall in love with being your mother.  

 

 

You are such a great baby! You make me laugh and smile. You are so entertaining to watch.

 

I love to watch you grow and learn new things. You are developing the best little personality.

 

You are the best part of my day. I love waking up to your big smile. You are such a great sleeper and you are always so happy in the mornings.

 

 

I love how you wrap your little finger around me while you eat. I love that special bond we have while I'm feeding you and you hold my hand and stare into my eyes.

 

I love being home with you, Lilah. There's no place I rather be than by your side. Smelling you. Feeling you breath on me. Watching you sleep. I hope that I'm doing a good job cherishing these small moments while you are a baby, because I never want to forget them!
