I know everything about her

After spending the whole day with this angel baby

I know everything about her.

I know every crease and crevice.

I know that if you put her on her changing table she

will coo and smile for you while you talk to her.

I know that she does not like her diaper changed

unless it is full of poop.

I know she likes outside and follows the sounds of the birds.

I know she recognizes her Mommy's voice from

wherever it comes in the house.

I know how to fix her bottles and how she likes to be fed.

I know how to burp her in hopes that her reflux

does not make her spit up half her feedings.

I know how to put her to sleep and if she refuses

the pacifier she will definitely settle for your pinkie finger

just like Princess Di settled her own baby boys.

I know her favorite place to sleep is in her Mommy and DeDa's bed.

As she and I laid in that bed for an afternoon nap

I stared at her beautiful face and

I realized that I want to know her this well for her whole life.

As she grows she will change as she does now so quickly..

I want to be the Mumsie that knows all her favorite stuff.

Knows what comforts her, knows her secrets.

It will never be as simple as it is now to know all about her

yet I want to. I want to be the soft place she can land

when things aren't going her way.

As soft as that mattress of her parents is right now.

I simply love her in a way that I didn't think

was imaginable.
