PS. While you are sleeping.



Recently, you will only take naps if someone is holding you upright. Probably because you are so stuffy.

Honestly, sometimes it's pretty irritating because there are a million things I need to do. But most of the time I am completely overwhelmed at how lovely it feels to have little warm you snoring on my chest. And when I look down and see your eyelashes brushing against your cheeks, your button of a nose, and your mouth open in that perfect o - I sometimes get choked up. You are so tiny and fully dependent on your dad and me. All I want is to protect you and teach you how to be good and honest and creative and brave.

So while you are sleeping, I whisper these things to you. I know wishing isn't enough - that I have to be an example and answer hard questions. But I think the whispers and wishes don't hurt.

And I already see glimpses of the good, honest, creative, brave girl you are becoming.

seriously by molly's 7th or 8th month, you're going to have me wanting a baby and referring to your blog as the reason :)

I adore reading these!
