This is one of those wonderful Mommy nights when I just want to gobble my baby girl up or kiss her for hours straight.
So Annie has been making a few strides in attaining some major milestones - waving, getting cheerios in her mouth and rolling over. But nothing beats tonight when Annie realized what a kiss was. I kept planting big kisses loudly on her little rosebud mouth when she suddenly figured it out and kissed back. It has been so long since I had a sloppy open mouthed baby kiss that I had almost forgotten the pure joy of them. I managed to get a picture of her ready to plant a wet one on Mommy - we sat there for 30 minutes kissing happily. The best part was that the more encouragement I gave her the more excited she got - giving me little giggles after each kiss!
By the time Bob got home from picking up soup for me Annie had discovered (and played with)her feet for a few minutes and had fallen into a restful sleep on my chest. Poor Daddy will have to wait until tomorrow for a kiss (well, from Annie anyways!) So I'm reveling in the moment - not the moment Annie found her feet - but the moment she figured out how to express her love for me with the sweetest kisses ever!
The second picture, as you may have guessed, is Annie playing excitedely with her piggies! Molly was cracking up because Annie found her feet - "Mama, she never lost her feet. They've been there since she was born." So I try to explain to Molly that she just figured out that they are attached to her body and again, "But Mama, they have always been attached to her legs - You're crazy, Mama."
I would be in heaven if Annie always kissed with her mouth wet, drippy and wide open and Molly always called me Mama.
