A GIRL AND HER SOFTY, A MOM AND HER BABY

Little Lady loves her softy's. Loves to pull them up over her face in order to fall asleep, loves to be tickled with them, loves to grab on and hold on! 



 I don't know if it's just a matter of being a first time mom, or an adoptive mom... but everyday I try to remind myself that Layla is my own daughter. Not anyone else's, no strings attached... I am her mom. I get butterflies in my tummy whenever I think of her, smell her, hold her, or see her. We fit.

I love her noises and those eyes are to die for. I get chills every time I think of you and your greatest blessing. Us adopted babies are so thankful for mamas like you (and mine of course). xoxo
