Becoming a mommy's girl.

I feel so fortunate that I had such a long maternity leave. 12 weeks! During that time I just beamed with happiness. It felt so good to rock my baby and be there with her. In June, when I had to return back to work... it felt okay because she was with her dad.  I don't think i'd go back and do anything differently because my daughter got off to a wonderful start with her daddy. She was Daddies little girl and she has him wrapped around her finger.

Fast forward to now that I only work 2 days a week. Olivia is my side kick in action. She helps me clean (kinda), She watches me put on make up, and follows me every where. When Im lost in sight she screams "MOM?!" Which we may have to work on our inside voice, but my heart melts in a pool into the carpet every time.

A few weeks back she grabbed my legs and said "I lub you mommy." How can I love this little girl more then I did the day before? I'm not sure, but it happens with each passing moments.

When I want a hug or a kiss.. Ill pretend cry and shell come running to make it "okay". Shell kiss me and hug me. I love that she cares so much.

She says "Honey" and "good girl" to her baby. That makes me feel like I am doing something right as a mom. She loves to mimic and I see her doing stuff every day that I do.

We've been reading scriptures and saying prayers together.. and I really like that. She recognizes the temple, who Jesus is, and will fold her arms when asked to.

She has her naughty moments, but mostly.. she's just a good girl. She wants to do right and inspires me to be so much better. She maybe a mommy's girl, but Im definitely her biggest fan.
