Precious moments I'm grateful for

I know I already put a post up for today but I couldn't let this day pass without writing about a sweet moment I had with just Leah and me. We just came back from my parents house and were winding down and getting ready for bed. We climbed into mine and Chris' bed, got four short books and cuddled up to read. I don't know why this touched me so much, but it just did. Maybe it was because it reminded me of when she was a new born and she went through a short faze where she couldn't fall asleep unless I held her in my arms while in bed. Chris and I loved waking up to the sight of her right there beside us, right in the position she and I fell asleep in.

I felt such an overwhelming sense of gratitude for being right there in that moment with my baby girl, all cozy and comfy in her cupcake jammies, her hair down (my favorite way to have it 'styled') and framing her chubby little angel face, looking through her books and getting so excited when we started a new book. She was so happy just to be with me. I wish I could have made that moment last for a little longer. It really makes me so sad that time goes by so incredibly fast.

Pretty soon she's gonna be too old to want to cuddle with me. She'll want to spend all of her free time with her friends. And I will be way too old and uncool for her. But I will always have that precious moment with her to look back on and cherish along with many more. And for that... I am truly thankful.
