I Love...

I love your EYELASHES, how they lay on your cheeks like a blanket of gentle snowfall; they are BEAUTIFUL.

I love your HANDS, how they bat, clutch, and explore. I love that there are eight miniatures dimples atop each where finger meets hand; they are BEAUTIFUL.

I love your EARS, perfect and tiny, how each lobe and fold are symmetrical and how each groove and curve are just as they should be; they are BEAUTIFUL.

I love your BELLY, the rise and fall of each breath that you take and your perfectly formed belly button adorning it like a whimsical ornament; it is BEAUTIFUL.

I love your FEET, how each toe stretches and curls,how they make such soft swift kicks against my body when I hold you close; they are BEAUTIFUL.

I love your VOICE, faltering, fluttering, and unsure, you discover each day a wonderful new coo, shriek, grunt, or the occasional magical giggle that you are capable of; it is BEAUTIFUL.

I love your EYES, as they scan the room for familiar faces, lock deeply with mine, and the way that they fight to stay open when you are tired before they slam shut like heavy metal doors; they are BEAUTIFUL.

I love your SMILE, though elusively shying away from the commitment of a photograph, you share that lovely piece of sunshiny heaven each day, warming my heart and soul through and through; it is BEAUTIFUL.

Baby, you are BEAUTIFUL... and what I LOVE is YOU!
