A few random things that I want to remember, forever:
The way you look when you are sleeping in my arms;
The way you sometimes keep "sucking" after I de-latch you when you are asleep;
The way you reach out and explore my face with your little hands - and the look of wonder on your face when you do so;
The way your face lights up when I laugh;
How excited you get when I cheer you on (after you do something new for example), and how you then try to repeat whatever it was that got the cheer, over and over;
How you giggle when I shake my head over you so that my hair brushes your face;
The way you reach out and play with (or try to eat?) your books now when I read to you at night;
The way you sometimes "talk" to me now, very insistently, and in a voice that is almost whisper quiet;
The way you smile as soon as you see me, after being held by someone else;
The weight of your little head resting against my chest, on my shoulder, or on my arm, after you have fallen asleep;
The look on your face when you see or experience something new and exciting for the first time - a mixture of wonder, confusion, and amazement;
Your tiny, chubby little feet;
Your sweet gummy smile;
Your adorable belly laughs (which are most common when I pull a onesie over your head, strap you into the jolly jumper, or tickle your belly and chest); and
The way you look at me sometimes....I just know that in that moment, you are trying to tell me how much you love me. It melts my heart.
