What makes you look at your child and think...

[*LittleMissSummer*]

"GOSH, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I am the luckiest mother in the world!"

My DD is currently in a bright pink jumpsuit, with one gumboot on, nutella all over her face, curash cream on her nose and is dancing around the loungeroom

I looked at her and had that moment. And because i am extremely hormonal i burst into tears, happy tears of course!

That moment when DD has been cracking it all day and then comes up to you with the cutest little kissy face. And goes between DH and I giving us dozens of kisses.
Or when she comes up for a cuddle and goes "awwww" and gently taps your back.
Or watching her face light up as she takes more and more steps.
Or even just going through the photos of her hospital stay.

I love her to bits.
And that's hard to write after just being slapped and screamed at.

The other day I set DD1 up with some food on the kitchen tiles as she can only eat on the tiles (so kitchen or balcony) and went to the toilet quickly when I heard her following me in. I was all like "aren't you meant to eat on the tiles?" and then she pointed to the ground like I was an idiot. Duh Mum, the bathroom is tiles! I just love when I'm outsmarted by a 3yr old, she is so clever sometimes it makes me gush... then annoyed that I can't even rely on food to let me wee in peace lol.

Everything. My heart bursts for her

[Calluna]

When he learns something new and the grin on his face tells me how proud he is of himself
When he says "luff you mum"
When he offers kisses and cuddles (this is rare, so extra special)
Being woken up with a kiss in the morning

the random funny things he does every day.

[sloane]

there are so many things but some of my faves:

when he's upset he doesn't necessarily call for mummy but calls "i want the mummy"
'i love you mummy'
when i ask him if he'd like something (that he really likes) and he says 'oh yes pleeease'
if i say 'ow', he always asks 'you ok mummy?'
how they're so unconstrained by what you should & shouldn't do, so if he feels like pretending that he's been shot & wants to fall to the floor in the middle of the supermarket or post office, he will
whenever he's asleep - doesn't matter what mischief he's been up to or how grumpy he's been, they just look so precious when they're sleeping. makes my heart melt everytime.

Even though he's almost 1 year old I still find myself in disbelief that I am a Mother and he is my Son. Everyday feels like Christmas to me and every time I look at him I can't believe he's mine and I was lucky enough that we got to have him come into our family. My most special bursting with love times is when he is sound asleep in his cot and I can just stare at him and soak him up because he is quiet and still. I also burst when I see him interacting with other people and having fun. When he's playing on the swings and he laughs I just about explode with all the love that wells up inside me.

I'm so happy that I changed my mind and decided to become a Mum. It's the best thing I have ever, EVER done and I almost missed out on the experience because I was a selfish idiot.

"I want the Mummy" I LOVE it!

[Jakabella]

When Bella says " I just love you mummy, your my best mummy in the world" and "your my best friend in the whole wide world!"
And when DS does something new and turns around with a big cheesy grin and claps for himself! When DS wakes up and walks straight into DDs room and crawls up into bed with her after their day sleeps.. He just adores her!

[Calluna]

Sitting in a restaurant tonight on one of those booth seats - DF and I either side of DS -and Isaac grabbed mine and DF's head, pulled us both in together to kiss his cheeks at the same time and saying "mmmmmmmwaaaaaa!"
Very cute, but then he wouldn't let go and we had to do it over and over again! He was pulling us in with so much force that I couldn't escape

(probably a "you had to be there" moment but super cute )

[Kazzo]

Yesterday I was sitting just inside the back door having a cuppa watching my girls. They were sitting together underneath the trampoline, each had their favourite dolly and they were playing happily, DD1 reached over to DD2 and gave her a kiss and my heart near exploded with love They are such great sisters and it is moments like that that make me realise how lucky and happy I am.

[Catastrophic]

Being sick at the moment - and my daughter coming to give me cuddles saying "your so beautiful" "get better my sick lady" all whilst giving me a big cuddle and pattig me on the head. She's got the most beautiful nature around!
