Happiness Is... (according to me)

Happiness is when you are laying in bed at night and you hear your baby snoring from one room away.

Happiness is eating dinner at the same time as everybody else because your baby now feeds herself.

Happiness is trying to have a conversation over the dull roar of your baby saying, "Mmmm!" all the way through dinner.

Happiness is when you pick your baby up from being babysat by her Grandma Kathy to hear that her favorite thing to do while you were gone was point to pictures you are in and say, "Mama" and "Dada".

Happiness is drinking two cups of coffee in the morning because you are done nursing!

Happiness is putting on your favorite pre-pregnancy jeans and not having to shimmy (too much) ;-)

Happiness is getting a hug from Sophia.

Happiness is watching someone the size of a lawn gnome take her first steps.

Happiness is realizing you have not been up at 3am for a very long time.

Happiness is seeing little white nubs poking through your baby's gums after a few long days.

Happiness is buying a soft bouncy horse off of Craig's List that looks practically brand new for half the cost of a new one for your rowdy little girl's first birthday! Shhhh!
