Motherhood

The last three months of new motherhood have been so amazing. Every little moment with Grace Hartley has been etched into my heart with a pen of love. She has changed my heart, my life and my family in so many wonderful ways. Her little face is so precious and perfect. Her little hands and feet are just edible they are so sweet. Her little coos and sounds are heart melting. The way she smiles at me every single morning when she first wakes up is breathtaking. The way she snuggles up to me when she's ready to fall asleep. The way her little neck smells like milk and goodness makes me want to bottle that smell up and keep forever. The way her tiny little fingers grasped mine with such strength makes me never want to let go. The way her sparkling eyes light up every single time we go outside fills me with the same kind of wonder she has. The way my heart skips a beat when she smiles that crooked smile at me for no reason. The way she laughs when I sing my special made up songs for her makes me want to sing to her all day every day. The way she sings along with her Daddy when he sings his crazy songs to her and dances through the house holding her little body. The way she fights sleep every night, but then drifts off and looks so peaceful. The way she laughs and splashes in the little pink bathtub of hers. The way her eyes light up when they meet mine. The way she hits her little toys on her car seat in the mornings just cracks me up. The way that little sweet round face looks when she has her Sunday bonnet on. Words really can't describe how in love I am with this little person. She is more spectacular, perfect and amazing that I could have ever imagined. I feel like my heart grows every time I look at her beautiful face. Being a Mom is the absolute berries.
