As some of you know Wade is leaving out of town this weekend. So before he left we went in to gaze over our beautiful sleeping baby. (I guess 14 months isn't considered a baby anymore but I'm in denial right now that he's a toddler) While in there we accidentally woke him up and we frantically ran out hoping he wouldn't see us and just go back to sleep. Well he saw us and I think it scared him that all of the sudden he was woken up from a dead sleep and both his parents were running for the door. (I don't blame him I would freak out too.) Anyway I took this wonderful opportunity to go back in there and comfort him and snuggle with him for a bit. When I picked him up with his little BB (pacifier) and blankie and we sat down on the rocking chair he just melted into my arms. He just laid there half asleep enjoying my warm, comforting arms. After about 20 minutes of cuddling he slowly started to drift off to sleep and on his way out he lifted up his little hand and softly touched my neck.
It's moments like these where everything I do for him is worth it. The tantrums, the messes, the 10 billion poopie diapers, the chasing around church... it's all worth it. I could have melted into freshly microwaved butter. I love that little man and just thinking about my love for him makes me so overwhelmed I just want to cry.
I feel so blessed to have such a happy child given to me. I know my Heavenly Father loves me so much and I'm so grateful he has brought Wells into my life. I don't know what I would do without him.
So sweet. I love little moments like that...makes me want another baby. :) Thanks again for watching Macie last night!! And I'll see you in a few hours.
