Magical Moments

- The first time she says "MaMa" and means YOU!
- Her first step on her own towards you.
- The absolute trust she has in you, falling into your arms over and over, knowing you will catch her everytime.
- Her first smile, her first giggle, her first chortle and her first gut busting laugh.
- The first time, after you have been away, that you come home and her face just completely "lights up" when she sees you.
- That first slobbery kiss.
- How she stops crying and reaches for you in the morning when she wakes up.
- Her calm contentment as she stares at you while drinking her bottle.
- Watching her expand her comfort zone and venture a little further from you each day, always looking back and checking to see that you are near.
- Realizing that your comfort zone is to have her as near as possible.

And the list goes on and on and on and on ...
