Sweet Dreams, Little One

At Six Weeks, the things I don't want to ever forget are:

• Calling you a hundred different nicknames, but mostly "Loo-lee" and "Boogie"
• Your loud, violent hiccups that you don't seem to mind, but they hurt mommy to hear
• Putting shoes on your tiny feet to keep your socks on
• Being terrified to cut your tiny fingernails, so I endure the wrath of the scratchie baby
• Sleeping with you in the crook of my arm every night
• Watching you dream, with smiles, laughs and frowns and wondering what you must be dreaming about.
• Kissing your head when you have nightmares and you calming down from just that simple touch without ever waking up.
• Being more concerned with your bowel health than brushing my own teeth
• Watching you kick and your eyes get big and round during bathtime
• Seeing you "talk" to your toys (especially your Angel Doll that Daddy bought for you)
• How your Grandparents thank us for letting them babysit
• *Wishing* I could be a Stay at Home Mom until you are 35
• The look on your face when you realize that your pacifier is not connected to any source of milk (then watching your eyes roll back in extreme satisfaction when I put you to my breast to nurse)
• Your baby milk-breath and how you like to suck my nose when I'm kissing you
• How your eyes light up whenever you hear your Daddy's voice
• How cute you look with your gummy smile and big dimple
• Being completely floored by the fact that your Father and I created you and that our love will sustain you for the rest of your life
• Thinking you are the lovliest thing I've ever laid on and the biggest accomplishment of my entire life

This tiny person is the most amazing gift I have ever received and more than any proud mommy could ever ask for!
