Loves you

I'm sure I've told S a million times that I love her.  It first started when she was a newborn, when I was mesmerized by her little fingers and toes and couldn't believe that Mikes and I made this perfect little person.   As she got older, she would repeat after us before bed time. "Loves you, momma." "Loves you daddy."  A few weeks ago, I came home and she said it unprompted for the first time.  It's hard to describe what it felt like to have my not-so-little baby express her love for us on her own. I feel so lucky to be this little girls momma!
