I decided to do a list of the top eight things I love about my daughter:
1. I love how she is so cuddly in the morning, it only lasts a couple of minutes before she is trying to sit up on her own and look around but I absolutely love the few minutes I do get with her.2. I love how independent she is already. I was extremely independent growing up, I was potty trained by 16 months! I love that she takes after me in this way, she always wants to be sitting up by herself, she hates it when I hold her up, she is definitely going to be a handfull when she gets older.
3. I love how much she loves her daddy. She will cry and stare at him until he looks at her and then she will smile and start gabbing away. She loves him so much, its so precious.
4. I love bath time, I don't know why this is one of my favorite times, it just seems like we bond so much when she is getting a bath. There are less distractions and its very calming for her.
5. I love how sweet and innocent she is. We were out at the store the other day and there was a homeless looking lady walking around, I remember thinking "I hope she doesn't come talk to us" right as she started walking over. She went over to Brooklyn and as soon as Brooklyn saw the lady, her face lit up with a huge smile, you could tell it really made that lady's day. It really humbled me and reminded me of the childlike love I should have for everyone, to love everyone regardless of looks, personality, or even if they don't deserve it.
6. I love how she gave my life purpose. I really can't believe what I lived for before Brooklyn came into my life. I was an extremely selfish person that only cared about myself. Since Brooklyn came she has become my life, I eat, sleep, breath her. For the whole first month of her life I remember only showering every couple of days, and I was lucky if I got dressed in something other than my PJs. I love it though, she gave me the motivation to become a better person.
7. I love how much I love her. I know this sounds weird but the other day Brooklyn had been taking a longer than normal nap (it had been 2 1/2 hours) and I went and woke her up solely because I missed her. That was the day I realized that I was completely in love with her. I've always known that I love her but you never realize how much you love someone until they are gone. She wasn't gone she was just sleeping but that is the longest she hasn't been with me besides night time. She was extremely crabby after that and I learned my lesson, never wake a sleeping baby!
8. I love how she watches everything I do. She is so intrigued by everything I do, it makes me feel so special. She watches my mouth when I talk to her, and she loves to watch me eat. I just love the new stage of life she is getting into where she is so much more observant of what is going on around her.
