Contentment

There is nothing sweeter than the feeling of her furry little head as she rests upon my shoulder in the rocking chair and her little body relaxes into mine as sleep takes over. I love feeding Zoe before I go to sleep because it's our quiet bonding time. It's also a brief period that won't last and that makes it so much more valuable. I was sad when London transitioned from the bottle because it meant we had moved on to a new stage in our lives-a bittersweet feeling.

London does come to me for tons of hugs and kisses throughout the day which ease the loss of the afore-mentioned time and that is a wonderful feeling too. There's nothing better than when your little girl jumps on your lap for a book reading or comes up to hug your legs and says "I love you mommy". Every day has a few of these moments waiting like little jewels, laying in wait amongst the mundane chores and normal occurrences. So fulfilling and something wonderful to look forward to.
