Morning Love

There are many loves that I have in my life; my God, my husband, my son, my family, the love of friends and their laughter, but my new found absolute LOVE is waking up in the morning hearing Cameron over the baby monitor.  What a way to wake up!  It just gets me every time.  His squeals, coos, yells, and just plain baby jabber instantly makes me smile.  As I lie in the bed listening to the sweet sounds, I know exactly what he is doing and picture it in my mind.  He is lying in his big comfy crib staring up at his friends the giraffe and elephant smiling and talking away telling them all that he knows.  I often wonder if his sounds were actual words telling his "friends" all about his dreams from the previous night.  After a few minutes of this, I LOVE getting up, creeping into his room and just watch him until he realizes that I am standing there. Then it comes....his BIG gummy smile after his eyes lock in on mine.  Ahhhh...LOVE!  Makes my heart swell every time.  He starts kicking and cooing all the while smiling at his mama.  (Got to give dad credit too...he does the same thing to him!)  This kid is one happy baby and man do I feel blessed God picked us to raise him! Since being back to work, I miss these mornings most of the time, so I treasure each morning I am able to be awakened by this amazing little man.
