belly laugh

i love when addison laughs her belly laugh. it's so innocent and pure and i know that in that one moment she thinks something so silly as me rubbing my nose into her belly is the greatest thing in the world. i want to bottle up her laughter and be able to listen to it everyday for the rest of my life. just for a few moments of her laughter and i cant stop smiling. its possibly the best sound in the world besides hearing her little heartbeat on the monitor when she was still inside my belly.


 every little thing that addison does melts my heart. today i was making her laugh and her little tiny hand reached up and touched my cheek. i know she is just trying to figure everything out but sometimes i like to think that it's her little way of telling me how much she loves me.


she only reaches for me these days, she always wants me to hold her and comfort her and i do it. everyone tells me that i shouldnt do it because she is only going to want me around and no one else. but i dont care, i want my daughter to want me in her time of need and for her to reach for me when she wants me.


because every day she is growing bigger and bigger and older and older, and sooner rather than later she isnt going to reach for me, she is going to be an independent and then a young woman. i want to cherish these moments for the rest of my life.
