Being a Mom :)

I never knew having a baby would be so fun! I absolutely love every part of being Grayson's mom. From the good times to the hard times, all of it is so wonderful. The good days fill my heart with joy and the hard days teach me how to be better for him. Looking back on some of the hardest days, I am so grateful because without them I would not have learned the lessons I needed as a new mom. I have learned more patience, love, and selflessness than I have ever known before. The Lord works on my heart every day through this little man :)

 Even changing his diaper is a blessing. I find myself having fun doing the simple things with him. :) he smiles and plays with me when I pull him over to change him. There's nothing better! 

His little feet are always one of my favorite things. :) someday I won't get to nibble on his little toes and I always want to remember the tiny-ness of my sweet boy :)

Most days we have a time where we lay on the floor and read. I can't even express how much I love reading with him. He looks at the pages and then back at me. He loves books and it's so precious!

This little boy :) I think when I dreamed of having a baby, I thought of it as something fun to do, something exciting, and just the obvious next step in life. Little did I know it would change everything. My whole life is different now. Priorities, responsibilities, activities, desires, opinions... So much has changed but I wouldn't trade this new life for anything in the world. 

Today we bundled up and ran errands together! Mundane tasks become so fun when I get to look down and see that sweet little face!!!
I never want to take these days for granted. From play time to reading books to his sweet smiles and changing his diaper. Every part of being his mommy is an amazing blessing and I am SO thankful for him!
