Miss Magic

I can't even get enough of you right now, I could just swallow you whole! Those bright blue eyes and squishilicious cheeks just kill me and I don't ever want you to grow up, not ever! You seem to have other plans though because at 14 months you have hit quite a milestone. In the last week and a half you have learned to go into a sitting position, pulled yourself up, and just today you crawled! Not the army crawl you've mastered the last 3 months, but a proper hands and knees crawl. It's so exciting, especially after the weeks you spent in that horrible cast, but it is freaking me out like you don't even know. I blinked and you are almost full on toddler now. I imagine it wont be long before you learn to walk which is something I can't wait for but at the same time I'm not quite ready. I think you called me "Mama" today like you really meant it, so maybe that's the deal the universe is making with me. It's reminding me about the gifts of reciprocation that are destined to come as you get older - the unsolicited snuggles, sloppy kisses and  "I love you Mama's".

I love you so much I could burst and am so grateful for you every minute of every single day.
