Have to copy the pp; I love when she smiles at me from her crib; even at 1 am :-) I also love when she falls asleep while nursing after daycare (like right now).... it's kind of annoying since I have to hold her whole she naps but also so sweet!
@lokimau yes! That is truly the best sound in the world. I look forward to it each and every day. Also, when he lights up and smiles when he sees me first thing in the morning.
Baby related - her huge gummy smiles and her sleepy snuggles. When I lay her down and she grabs my finger and pulls my hand against her chest.
Non-baby related - a cup of tea, a windmill cookie, and a good book. A hot bath and a glass of wine. When DH txts me "goodnight, darling" just before I fall asleep.

Middle of the night feeding. I love nursing LO back to sleep and just holding onto him "for just a few more minutes" before i put him back in his crib. This past week DH was away was N slept in bed with me- waking up or looking over to see him so peacefully sleeping. Love
The feeling I get during a morning run watching the sun rise as I feel the crisp autumn air nip at my face. Then the feeling I get after the run when I'm stretching.. an all natural high Getting an unexpected letter in the mail from a friend or family member. Something purple (my favorite color) Also- pumpkins, sweaters, scarves, hot chocolate, an autumn storm complete with thunder rain and wind, and a crock pot dinner, all on the same day.
When DS smiles at me after he wakes up in he morning, he looks at me like I've been gone for forever and he's so happy that I am back. Putty in his hands.
Not baby related, after DS is down for the night DH and I snuggle on the couch and watch Netflix, melts my heart every night, especially cold ones.
When I dream about my father. He passed away less than two years ago - he was my favorite person in the whole world. When I dream about him it gives me a few moments where it feels like he is still here.
Non baby- that first sip of coffee on a fall or winter day. Seasonal candle burning and a tidy house- those things together make me so happy and relaxed.
Baby- that gummy smile from the crib that says "oh good! You're here!"
I also love the morning baby smiles and snuggles! Everything camping- first sip of coffee made on a camp stove in the morning, cozy sweaters, campfire smell, early morning calm.
The other day, when I was holding DD, and 3 year old DS jumped and landed in front of us, causing DD to break out in fully baby belly laughs! He did it over and over again, and she laughed every time.
Also watching DH play with the kids.

When I get DD from her crib at her 2am wake up and bring her to bed with me to nurse, she reaches out with her eyes closed and grabs hold of my tshirt and yanks me towards her so she can eat. It's kind of bossy but it makes me feel like she really needs me.
Also when she "talks" in bed for about an hour in the morning and lets me sleep until 9am.
yesterday we went to a garlic festival, we have the little mirror on the seat to check on him when we are driving. i was on the passenger and look back and the mirror and started talking to him i put my had back on the side of the car-seat while still looking at the mirror the i looked away to look forward (there was a little bit of traffic) the i felt something grab my hand, it was his hand!!! he reach to grab my hand, as if to tell me hello you stopped looking at me.... i literally shed a tear

When SO rubs my feet.
When DS falls asleep nursing at night and just goes limp, curling his body around mine. Too soon he'll be big and not squishy anymore. :-(
When DH comes to bed after me, he always kisses me good night on my shoulder.

I love napping with baby, and the coos she makes while nursing

When I've just cleaned my house from top to bottom and I get to just sit and take it all in
