It took me back in that instant and gave me comfort and…

I love watching you figure out how something works. I love listening to you laugh when you are going to sleep or just waking up. I love when you reach over and rub my belly when you’re getting your diaper changed. I love watching you play and give love to the puppy. I love how your face lights up when you hear the door and your Dad comes home. I love how you are so independent…
