To my sweet "Baby Love"

Summer-

Though you may not realize it, but you have TOTALLY changed my world. I often wonder what my life would have turned out like if you had not joined it. Mommy and Daddy wished for you for a LONG time and worked and prayed really hard to finally get you. One day when you are bigger I will explain to you the story of your conception! Over the last 14 months you have done MANY things to bring tears of joy and smiles to my face. I never thought I would be a woman that defined themself by their child, but today I must say that you are my life and I AM SO GRATEFUL for you. Today you made me belly laugh...Not the snicker or giggle kind of laugh, but the true laugh that life is made of. We were snuggling on the couch and you decided you wanted to play in your room. So you climbed down really carefully (like I wouldn't notice) glanced back at me with your innocent blue eyes and you took off crawling faster than I have ever seen you crawl. (Lord knows you wouldn't walk). You headed towards your bedroom...When I came to check on you I saw the funniest thing...A toddler laughing at herself while she danced to the music, then you made your way over to your armoire. You proceeded to pull out all your winter clothes and when you realized I was there with the camera you just laughed at me. Your laugh is such an amazing thing. I can remember just a year ago that your Daddy said to me..."I just can't wait to hear her laughing and playing" Now that you do, it's a wonderful thing. People often ask me "so, when are you going to have another baby?" and my response almost every time is "well, if you had one perfect baby like I do, then you wouldn't always plan for another." So my sweet "Baby Love Summer Elizabeth" thank you...for being just you. I am honored to be your mommy.
