6 Months! Can you believe it? I am sure you probably can, but I am still struggling.
For your reading pleasure, I bring you my list of 6 reasons I love Little A:
1. Your smile. Even on my toughest days, that little turn of your lips makes me melt over and over again.
2. Your constant state of discovery. I know this is common to all your peers, but to be privy to every new look, sound, and movement you make causes me to bubble up with pride and an excitement I can't explain....
3. Your everpresent desire for attention. It reminds me of someone I know...
4. Your blue, blue eyes. They remind me of your father, and I feel like I can see right into you through them.
5. Your snuggles. I don't think I could feel more at peace than when you are snuggled up at my neck or in my arms, awake and studying my face, but totally quiet and calm, needing nothing more than to just be loved.
6. You made me a mother. I find no deeper satisfaction in this life than being your mom. You have helped me gain more patience and find more inner strength than I knew posessed. You have softened and humbled me. You have given me the chance to find my true calling and nature, brought me closer to my Father In Heaven, and filled me with a great desire to be better. You will always be the child that made me a Mother, and for that you will forever have my heart.

It's nice to hear those kind of comments from a mom. I don't hear sentiment like that often. I'm glad you're happy and doing well! Have a Merry Christmas!
This post was very touching, Amanda. I especially loved the last part.
Merry Christmas. Hope you guys have a great one.
Wow....talk about fighting tears... I loved this post! I can't wait to find the things I love about Dalton (other than loving how I can feel his sweet little kicks now!)
