Moments that make it worth while

I'm just getting ready for Ada to turn one... I try to remember that she's not that little of a baby anymore, but to me she's still my little baby. I sure hope that she always has a tender spot for me in her heart as she grows up and goes on to have her own family.

The other day we were at Jer's parents house past 1 am. I was carrying a sleeping Ada out to the car. It was kind of funny because she had the biggest frown on her face as we left... whether she was having a nightmare or just didn't like being moved in the middle of the night, I don't know. But, I started whispering to her to try to get her a little more relaxed and while I was talking to her she reached out her hand to my face and started saying, "Mama." My chest about burst with joy knowing that she trusted me and that she knew me even in her dreams!
