Amazing Love - 4 Months of Love

How can it be...that I can have so much love for someone so little and new in my life? Rachel is 4 months old and already I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to her. I know that even though Rachel can't tell me this in her own words she feels the same way. She has been incredibly needy those last couple of weeks. If she can't see me, even if I am in the room with her, she starts crying. The second I come into view she is smiling and happy. It's very hard to get anything done when she is acting like this. Is it already separation anxiety or is it just the extreme need for mommy's attention?
Rachel is getting cuter and bigger everyday. For the last week Rachel has been waking up happy and playing. She is talking to herself and eating her feet. I walk in and she stops playing and smiles at me then continues playing. She loves "talking" to me in her adorable baby gabber, just cooing and smiling away. Her little smiles and chuckles just melt my heart. Right now she is playing on her activity mat just giggling and kicking.


Rachel has been doing the cutest thing to me lately. I think she is trying to kiss me. The other week I was kissing her sweet chubby cheeks when she grabbed my hair and pulled me to her and she started sucking my nose! She still does this every once in a while but now she just opens her mouth wise and pressing it on my face. Like I said, she just melts my heart.
I thank God everyday for blessing me with such an amazing family. I fall more and more in love with Josh, he is my strength, best friend, love...I'd be lost without him. I keep counting every moment I have with Rachel as a blessing. She makes my heart smile. I pray that everyone gets to experience this kind of love, unconditional love, in their lifetime. Thank you God for everything.

P.S.
Rachel rolled over last night! I put her on her tummy and she looked up at me and then rolled onto her back. I was so happy.
