I absolutely love those moments

I absolutely love certain "those" moments of being a mom. This week in particular I LOVE the nighttime routine. I am loving the smell of her bath, putting lotion on her (ok, trying to since she flips over and wiggles in all her naked cuteness like a fish so I usually get ALOT on her little bottom as she's trying to scurry away), and rocking her. awwww! Talk about good endorphin stimulation! Indulge me as I talk about that! I want to make sure and not forget any of these moments. We'll rock in her room while she eats and sometimes she goes right to sleep. At other times she doesn't - and those times are so sweet. She'll lay there and look around and glance up at me every once in a while. Then she'll flash a small smile and look around again. She won't move though - just look! After a while she'll just close her eyes and go to sleep. A couple of nights ago I went to sleep too and woke up an hour later with a still sleeping baby on me. I was very tempted to bring her bed with me or stay there all night. But I put sleeping cutie in her bed and myself in my bed with a heart full of love and a mind full of peace and gratefulness.

I absolutely love those moments.

I also enjoy Sonic! Those first few weeks of being home by myself Bella and I took our fair share of sonic runs - happy hour lemon-berry slushes were made for first-time mommys who need an "I-can-do-this" break. I still love Sonic. Last Wednesday while I was home working we went for our Sonic-break. I finished ordering my $0.79 lemon-berry slush and turned around to check on my little sweetness - here's what I saw.

I absolutely love those moments.

Miss Happy is so full of joy! I'm thankful for that because I forget about the small joys in life amongst dinner preparation, work, ins-and-outs of life. I love when I catch her looking at me and see faces like these.

I absolutely love those moments.

And, because I adore these two...

I absolutely love those moments.
