She Loves Me!

My daughter has taken to blowing me kisses, giving me hugs and snuggling with me as of late. I, my friends, am in heaven! Can this age and stage last forever? I know there will come a day when she wants to be as far away from me in a room as possible, but that is not today and I LOVE IT! Last Friday we were driving to school and she was munching away on a banana. She'd eaten down to the peel so I asked her if she'd like me to help her out. She shook her head and then put the most adorable, "Mom, I love you so much," look on her face that I thought I might melt right there in the driver's seat, but then it got even better! When I glanced back a few seconds later, she started blowing me kisses! Oh my goodness! I had to restrain from just pulling over right then, getting her out of the car seat and hugging her to pieces, while saying "thank you, honey, thank you!" I never had it bad with Miss B. She was a good, happy baby -- she slept through the night early on, she wasn't colicky, she ate well, but still something inside me says I deserve the kisses and loves that are coming my way now. I'll soak it in as much as I can...hold her tight, let her know how much I love her back and if I have my way, never let go.
