I love my baby girl so much it hurts. She is everything to me. I love her daily growth and how quickly her intelligence develops, that is just amazing.
What I can’t still comprehend is why I love her even more when she is asleep.
There is something about the calmness of her face, or perhaps her entire pose that makes me feel she is my own personal muse. This peace, this quietness, this moment is just pure love towards my kid. She is well, she is safe. This much love really hurts.
Since I poured my heart out before when I wrote this post, I’ll re-use it to link up:

Beautifully said. I feel the same way when my daughter is asleep and I tiptoe into her room several times every night to watch her.
Of course now that she’s two, I love seeing her sleep even more because she’s actually still and not throwing a tantrum. 😉

Thanks, I had to write it somewhere before that feeling evolves as she approaches those avalanche years.

They seem like such angels when they are asleep, don’t they? So perfect and like they would never do anything wrong.

I know. Now that she is reaching 9 months during the day I am like “can you please go to sleep soon? I need to shower” or “can you please, for the love of God, go back to sleep mode, it’s been only 30 min” I need to finish this post for goodness sake! But, when she goes to bed at 9pm I am like “I miss her so much” LOL
