Reason 67 Why I Love Being A Mom: Mommie's-in-Pain-So-I'll-Give-Her-Smiles Smiles :oP

I was the lucky recipient of a day of torture yesterday (okie so it wasnt too bad i guess) but i definitely was not up to par taking care of Zoey. And it killed me not being able to feed her for 24 hours. Luckily she was a good sport (for the most part) and understood momma was not herself, so after i woke up from my first nap she gave me lots of smiles! I know ive given this reason in a couple different formats but i do love how she can make something so stressful and painful seem insignificant in the long scheme of things. I guess thats the beauty of a child's innocence and i hope to learn more from her as she grows!

Reason 89 Why I Love Being A Mom: First Real Laugh

This video was one of the most incredible moments of being a mother so far (i know, it can only get better watching her grow!). Coming off a day that was not good for my family, Zoey decided to debut her laugh and i have not heard it since! Please dont mind my corny, baiting laugh and blowing on her belly! I just love how she can just instantly put a smile on my face (even when shes the caused for a bad mood :oP)! So I hope you enjoy! Her little squeak at the end is so adorable! But i could just be biased <3

Reason 108 Why I Love Being A Mom: Middle Of The Night Smiles

So I don't have a picture for this but last night i was exhausted and looking forward to a good night's sleep since Zoey got all her naps in and i didn't feel she was overstimulated at all. Well 3.30 feeding comes around and im so happy she gave me a long shift again! But after feeding all she wanted to do was smile for two hours! How can i be mad at that smiling face?!? It was very tough to put her in her crib while she was smiling at me and just wanting to be with me. I love how happy she can make me feel when i just don't have the energy.

Coincidentally a certain aunt ;oP gave us a new book about going to sleep that i kept referencing in the back of my mind! Ha

Reason 176 Why I Love Being A Mom: Smiles On A Bad Day

Children are innocent and that is more apparent during times of sadness. That innocence is so consoling when they put their big goofy grin on their face and show you the world does go on even when it may feel like it doesn't. Sometimes immersing yourself in their world is such a wonderful way of escaping your reality, if only for a moment. I love her for everything she does for me, which is so much and i am trying to document it in this blog.

Reason 58 Why I Love Being A Mom: Food Look

I don't know if she is associating smell with food or she just sees her mom always doing this activity when she seems to be hungry but her curiosity in food is definitely apparent. And the looks that follow are something I could watch all day. On the left is more her daddy's expression when it comes to nasty veggies and salads. On the right is her momma's expression to yummy, healthy veggies and salads! :o)

Reason 130 Why I Love Being A Mom: Wedding Dance

My mom, daughter, and I recently attended my cousin's wedding. During the reception my mom sat Zoey on her lap and got her dancing to some oldies. The sound is a little low because halfway through it i covered the microphone and then adjusted the beginning to be quiet with the end :oP

But it is the most adorable video of Zoey and I cant stop watching it <3 And that cuteness is another reason I love being a mom!
