I was just playing with Laura on the floor mat, pulling her to a standing position and saying her name and telling her what a good baby she is. (And she is!)
Then I laid her on her back and tickled her little belly. Every time I said "I love you, little baby!" she would erupt in giggles.
Parenthood whips my ass on a regular basis; don't think for one second that every day is filled with such wall-to-wall delight. But moments like this remind me why I wanted to be a mom - this little girl learns and does something new every day. Every day presents its own challenges and triumphs. She is such a little person. So cool.
If you're still reading, I miss you all. I still read, mostly while nursing, but find typing one-handed difficult, so I rarely comment.
And particularly...you. You know who you are. My door is always open.
