Dear Lucy,

I love how your little hand barely wraps around my pinky finger.

I love when you squeak like a little bird

when you want mama to pick you up.

I love when you reach out to touch my face with your little hands.

I love when I lay you next to me on the bed and you wiggle

until you are as close to me as you can get.

I love when I inch away and you do it again.

I love the way you smell like a fresh little flower,

and the curl forming at the top of your hairline.

I love when you turn your head to find daddy's voice whenever he speaks.

I love when you lean towards me when other people are holding you.

I love the way you sometimes won't sleep in your bassinet,

but as soon as you lay with me you fall asleep.

I love watching you suck your little thumb.

I love you so much!
