this is my baby love. the one who captivates my heart over and over again, everyday. she says, 'mommy', 'i wuvoo,' and 'a-mn' when we've finished praying together. she loves to laugh and learn. she loves to listen to music and dance. mya loves her grandparents, both sets. she loves her water table and her 'dowg' (dog). she loves to talk on her pretend phone and draw with markers. she loves to wear hats and try on all of her clothes at once. she likes to take her shoes off and then put them right back on. and when she's done running to and fro, doing this and that, she finds me, not far away, and hugs my leg. i whisk her into my arms and play 'nosie' with her and tell her i love her. to which she responds, 'juice?' we laugh together even when she's not sure why we're laughing and i give her juice. i'm ever-grateful for the drastic way my life has changed since mya was born. i have to get up at the crack of dawn to have uninterrupted time to read my bible or go to the gym or just get a shower. i take her and 20 baby-related items with me on every errand. i am delighted to find her alphabet letters in the oddest places like under the kitchen sink in the midst of daily chores. she keeps me from completing projects and hobbies so that she can be held and have my complete attention. and for all of this i say, 'what a fabulous life i lead!'
