Hi My Love,
I wanted to take a moment while you nap to reflect on something I so enjoy. It's those moments, when I'm holding you and you are just about to fall asleep. You almost always look up me and smile as your blinks become longer and longer as drift into slumber. Then the moment comes when you are asleep, at peace and in rest. It's really beautiful. Some people say you aren't supposed to hold babies until they fall fully asleep but I just can't help myself. As a working mom I often find myself thinking "I just don't get that many moments like this." Typically it's at the very end of the day, after your bath, one formula bottle of the day and story time...we're in the rocking chair, I just sit there allowing myself to soak in the moment. I secretly enjoy when you won't go to sleep immediately and we just sit there looking at each other, smiling and rocking. I know the days you will fit in my arms are numbered and I was to soak up as many of the moments as I can and store them away in my heart.
I love you so
-Momma
