Smiles all Around

I walked around the corner from my place to grab my morning cup of coffee with Tazzy in the stroller and I realized I was smiling all the way there and back. I haven't been shy in sharing how challenging the first couple of months of motherhood were for me so I feel compelled to now share some of what I'm loving about it. Here goes...

• Being greeted with big smiles when I rescue her from her crib first thing in the morning -- nothing but sunshine!
• Going through her wardrobe deciding what cute outfit she'll wear
• Feeling confident and knowing when she's tired, hungry or has a poopy diaper
• Watching her sleep; and when she wakes sucks her thumb to fall back to sleep
• Taking a shower while she naps -- such a luxury!
• Going on long walks with her in the stroller, enjoying the fresh air and people watching
• The way she greets Daddy with a big smile when he gets home and then snuggles up against his chest
• Getting a full eight hours of sleep at night
• Cheering her on as she tries very hard to roll over
• Laughing as she grabs anything within reach
• Dancing with her! She loves music and hopefully she gets her Daddy's rhythm
• Feeling good enough to meet friends out
• Mastering household chores and even typing with one hand
• Making play dates and trips to the park

And finally, making her laugh fills my heart with joy! See for yourself.

That was so cute. My kids heard a baby giggling and Ran over to the computer and pawed at it and my lap in their efforts to get as close as possible. Then for 30 seconds it was a lot of "BABY BABY BABY! Momma, BABY!" Who doesn't love hearing a baby laugh?

My Emily is about her age. I have videos of her laughing at a rolled up blanket and another of her laughing at me for going, "Uhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh." It's weird what they find funny but their laughter is so magical.
