Love in Sleepy Eyes

Little Scooter is taking a peaceful nap. He's really getting better at this and it's only taken a week or so. I was just standing in his doorway watching him drift off, and I couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with love for my little guy.

It amazes me how such a tiny little person has captured all the love in the world and put it right into my heart! I'm sure every mom in the world has felt this, but it's such a personal and momentous feeling that it's hard to think that anyone else truly understands it. Thinking back to last Valentine's day, I'm not sure I could have said the same thing. Scooter was just a month old back then, and I was overcome with exhaustion, stress and feeling like I didn't have a clue about what to do with/for my little baby that love was a more distant concept - definitely there but sort of on the back burner. Now it's front and center and all warm & fuzzy.

He's the love of my life (don't tell his dad) and to see him in all his innocence sleeping so peacefully, I couldn't ask for more. Mommy loves you, little one!
