Dear Baby,

i love the way your hair turns colors when in the sunlight. i love the way you turn and smile at me when you figure something out. i love the way your eyelashes brush your eyebrows. i love it when you get gunk in your baby folds. between your toes, your neck, behind your ears. i love the way when you are falling asleep you brush your blankie, or my bathrobe, against your cheek. i love the way you smack my face in the morning to wake me up. and when you smooch me with your slobbery lips and want to eat my face it makes my heart go pitter pat. the way you smile and giggle when i put you to sleep and turn your mobile on, and the way your eyes flutter when i inhale when we are playing- anticipating the big reveal, the way you grunt at me to feed you a little faster... i love it all. i laugh with you, i get excited for you, i revel in the way you love with all of your being. and when you need me, i want you to know i will be there for you.
