Reasons 84 & 278 Why I Love Being A Mom: Quiet Wake Ups & Morning Smiles

I dont have an image for this and its really long over due posting this but in the morning i typically find Zoey laying in her crib staring or sitting up talking sweetly to herself and her bears. She rarely cries to get my attention in the morning and patiently waits for me to wake up. Im in a dream world really with this kid as Im sure the next wont be so kind :oP So when I do go to get her she hears the creak of her door and immediately looks for me and smiles so big that I cant help falling more and more in love with her. Her smile is seriously one of the greatest things ever and when its brought about because of me the feeling is indescribable! <3

Reason 171 Why I Love Being A Mom: Desire To Be Close

This actually works both ways as I went outside into our little service area to keep her company and she insisted on climbing into the wagon on her own and joining me as I picked out a couple cupcake recipes to make for Easter dinner at her Aunt Tammie's house.

There are times, sure, where I dont quite have that desire to be close (like using the loo! :oP) but I look beyond that and see how much she loves me that she just wants to be close and be just like her momma!

I am so behind on updating every little detail on why I love being a mom and have so many videos to go through but I am getting there. And rest assured, I'm enjoying the ride and focusing on that a little more at the moment. But maybe when she's in school (couple years I believe though) I can go back through all the videos and share those moments with you! <3

Reason 76 Why I Love Being A Mom: In Her Momma's Outfit

I was going through Zoey's clothes and found this outfit I stuck in there and was so happy that she was finally able to fit into it! So at the magic hour (for photography sunlight) I shot some pictures of my girl and absolutely loved the rainbow the sun created; no, it's not photoshopped. :o) These are honestly some of my favorite pictures of Zoey <3

Reason 177 Why I Love Being A Mom: Toy Hugs

Lately when Zoey gets a new toy she holds it tight and walks around hugging it. The cutest thing! Here she just received her first (non-inherited) American Girl Doll Julie! And below are a few more images from her first meeting with Julie <3

Reason 275 Why I Love Being A Mom: Snacker

My little angel. She grabbed this off my seat, spilled it all over the place and instead of eating what she spilled she reached in and continued to eat the remaining crunchies in the the tin. A-dork-able! Just couldn't pass up sharing this sweet little pictures with you of her being the most precious little thing I've ever met! oh so in love with her <3

Reason 134 Why I Love Being A Mom: Captain America Baby!

Ever since she was a baby-baby her daddy has been taking pictures with her in stores wearing these super-hero masks and now she is finally able to be like her daddy (and mommie :oP). She actually grabbed it and pointed it at me to put it on her. Ah, fell in love... again... and harder.

Reason 33 Why I Love Being A Mom: "Mirror" Twin Interaction

Zoey has always been fascinated with the mirror and her reflection. But today she interacted with it in a new way: bashfulness, 'does my butt look big' looks, and talking to it. She is amazing to me. I love watching her discover new things!

I understand if you dont watch the whole thing! Its a lot of the same but subtle differences with her expresses that I cant bring myself to trim :o)

Reason 184 Why I Love Being A Mom: Hulk Baby!

After watching the St. Patty's Day episode of 30 Rock I was inspired to get my very own set of hulk hands :oP Of course Zoey commandeered them and I think they look better on her than me anyway. But I couldn't help snapping a few pictures of the destroyer :oD

Reason 119 Why I Love Being A Mom: Laptop Destroyer

Zoey wants to be just likes us, and do everything we do, so it's not surprise that she has to press the buttons on her daddy's laptop. We have no idea the damage she's done but it makes her happy to do the things we do <3
