My heart is glad tonight.

I love my little munchkin. Every day, she makes me smile. She makes my heart glad.
I wake in the mornings to the sweet sound of babbling...an occasional cry for "Mawa"...and I enter her room to see a sweet smile awaiting. It's ok if a not-s0-sweet *smell* is also awaiting. I love the belly blowies that comes with a diaper change. The kisses and coos that are exchanged.
Then I get to feed her. Although she holds her bottle by herself throughout most of her daytime feedings now, in the mornings we get to snuggle. Sometimes she falls asleep again in my arms. My heart warms.
Soon it's time for breakfast. She sits in her little chair, mouth open, legs kicking, arms flailing, just waiting for the nummy breakfast surprise Mawa has for her! I fill her little belly and stuff the open mouth until she's satisfied. I am providing for my baby girl. And my heart warms.
Our day has just begun. The day is filled with heart warming. Little fingers learning to pick up bits of food. Bright eyes that discover a new toy. A smile that widens when Mawa walks in the room. A smile that widens even more when Daddy gets home. Right now her favorite is a little ball that shakes. Simple...her favorite. Her little hands can hold it. She loves it.
Right now she is so happy. She just sighed a big sigh. She's playing so hard- laughing, giggling, babbling, shaking her toys, cooing. It's 8:00- past bedtime. She had a late nap today. We're just enjoying our little princess.
Who would know she has just cut 2 teeth? She's precious.
My heart is glad.
