Sweet Baby Luke

I melt every time I see this picture of my baby.

It's hard to believe that in just a couple weeks he will be one. I assume at some point I would stop calling him my baby and refer to him as my child, son, toddler, or little guy. He already acts like a grown up in his little body. But, he will always be my sweet baby Luke. My baby.

Moments like these, when it's 55 degrees outside and my baby is happier than ever to be bundled up and out on a walk, make me realize how pure and sweet babies are. They make me realize, along with all the other cherished moments, that being a mother is such a blessing. An eternal blessing that God has given us and will either in this life or after. I cherish my calling so much and wouldn't want to do anything else with my life. How can I when I have this sweet face to look at everyday? He's not only cute, but so fun, happy, energetic, and excited about life. My best little buddy. He's growing so fast and it's so much fun watching him do new things and explore. I am so proud of him, and so so crazy about him. I don't know if it's possible to love any thing or any one more. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that I have more love within me to love my future babies. To think that I am this happy with this much love for Luke, and knowing that there is more love within me for more children, makes me so excited for each new day and for what the future holds. It makes me giddy inside to think that I will spend the rest of my life and eternal journey loving. Loving my husband, loving all of my children. Loving makes me feel so good inside! 

I am so grateful for all the love around me and for all I have to love.
