Love grows

You are growing each day. Just like a little plant, I see new leaves each day. Fresh green tiny new leaves. Wow.
You amazed me when you turned over two weeks ago. I'd gone to the kitchen to get a sip of water and when I returned, you'd turned 360 degrees- head up, shoulders up, looking proudly at the world with your new perspective.
Your father and I were the proudest parents that day.
Or, that day, soon after when you giggled as I made funny noises about planes and 'pessure coookers'- and cackles with laughter as we played 'Up up and away'
Or the other day when you decided to pull yourself up to sitting position holding my hands.
Or, going further, pulled yourself upright.
Or how you tug at the safety harness of your bouncer with tiny hands and lift your head, wanting to be lifted out of that thing!
Each day, I fall a little more in love with you.
It could be when you inspect your fist from all angles before popping it in your mouth, or how you lift both your legs in a dancing pose...
Is it possible to love someone so much, in such short a time?
