dear norah

I don't even know where to start. You are growing in so many ways- so quickly.
Today you:
-waved to me.
-said "dada" when you heard your daddy on speaker phone.
-drank my water through my straw (yes, I still drink with a straw- always.)
-crawled over to me, grabbed my leg and pulled up onto your feet.
-followed me around, crawling.
-found a little "lovie" in TJmaxx that you can't live without. You cried when I tried to put it back, so Gammy spoiled you and bought it for you. You are holding it now, as you sleep.
-took my breath away.
I adore:
-laughing with you.
-playing hide and seek with you. You get so excited to try to find me behind the couch.
-watching you rock out on your mini piano.
-seeing your cute teeth (you cut a third one last week.)
-feeling your soft little hands on my arm, cheek and lips. When I sing, you often put your sweet hand on my lips.
-squishing your helium feet.

I feel blessed. Life is good, God is loving and all-knowing, the Holy Ghost is real and speaks to me, your daddy loves me, makes me feel beautiful and special and I couldn't ask for more. I have been given much.
