Savoring these moments

Ever since The Crazy Day (see previous posts: When the going gets tough), I've been kind if in a "savor this moment, enjoy the little things"-kinda daze.  Maybe it was what happened on The Crazy Day or maybe its just because my not so little baby girl, has taken another developmental leap. She's just becoming so much more vocal, and opinionated, and....big-girl-like. We're at that point where new words aren't all that much of a surprise anymore. I mean -yeah, its fascinating but its no surprise anymore. We're not all "Ohmygosh Honey! Did you hear that! Aww!!" Now its more of an internal struggle with Father Time. And so, as I wallow in self pity, I find myself constantly wondering when she's going to stop liking my cuddles. I admit, I'm probably a little overbearing with showing my affection, especially with her. She gets tons of hugs and squeezes and kisses and cuddles. And at the moment, she mostly enjoys them.

So, these last few days I've been probably extremely overbearing. But still, thankfully, my little Love Bug doesn't mind it. And to be honest, I think I've been a little less stressed out. Parenting has been easier. I'm just savoring. Laughing. Loving. Smiling. Enjoying. 

My heart is just so full of love for this kid, as I'm sure every mother feels. Even 2.5 years later, this unconditional love? Should be the 8th wonder of the world. There's nothing that compares.
Completely swoon worthy. Completely in love.
