why i love you...

i love the way you look at me when i walk into a room. how your eyes light up and you give me a huge grin that appears only when you see me. i love the way you stare at anything new. you inspire me to be awed by the simple, tiny daily miracles. your giggle is irresistable, i crave it. you're the only one who can make me smile at 3 in the morning when you wake up crying because your nose is stuffy. i love the way you want to be involved in everything--using my cell phone, eating my food, playing with my papers, and using my computer. i lov your eyes. from the first moment i saw you i was struck by how beautiful they are. i love it when you're lying next to me on our couch. you look up at me with your big, beautiful blue eyes. i talk, you blabber. i work so hard to make you laugh. and you use your hands to memorize my face. in that moment i'm so grateful to be your mom.
