small moments

I was just thinking about the wonders of motherhood and thought i'd share some of the small moments i love... up until now!


THE FIRST TIME you saw your baby smile was thrilling. it most likely made you cry. But, even better is when his smile reached his eyes. Smiling baby eyes are heart warming to say the least, but when that smiles go so far as to touch his glistening eyes it's like the whole world is smiling at you... and frankly, it is!

BELLY LAUGHS... Oh man are those the best ever. When you can get your child to laugh so hard he gets the hiccups (well mine gets the hiccups pretty easily) those are big laughs! but man, the giggles that turn into screams of laughter are the bomb-diggity!

THE FIRST TIME you feel him clutch to your arm when you hold him over your shoulder. it's small, but it's sooo incredible to actually feel him develop.

WHEN SOMEONE COMES to talk to him and he turns into your chest to rub his face in shyness. you know that he feels safest with you.

1A.M. WHEN YOU'RE just on the verge of sleep and the silence is ever so perfectly cut by the pure sounds of breathing from your favorite men in the world. It is a song of gentle whispers; better than a lullaby.

JUST AFTER NURSING when his body is so warm against yours and his lips are the perfect shade of pink and sweetly puckered. that face is perfection.

WHEN DADDY HOLDS him so you can get a few things done. then, in your busy moments, you catch a glimpse of him staring, grinning at every bit of your motions. With those innocent, gleaming eyes you know he loves you completely and unconditionally.

HE CRIES WITH SOMEONE new and you know exactly what he needs... they hand him over to you and in seconds of your touch and voice he is calm, head so gently against your chest, hearts beating together. To know you're able to comfort him so completely is awesome.

i know there are sooo many more, I could go on forever, but those are just a few I find completely joyous... up until now! :)
