"i don't wanna miss a thing"

Myla,

Someone said that "myla" stood for "MY Little Angel." I think that's cute. And you are my little angel - so it fits.

I was snuggling with you this afternoon and thinking how I should really go get some sleep, too. The thing is, I didn't want to leave you! I love watching you sleep. I love breathing in your sweet baby scent, feeling your soft skin, listening to your little grunts and sighs, marveling at how perfect your little fingers and toes are, etc etc. And to think, every single moment you are getting bigger and older. I don't want to miss a thing.

Thus, Aerosmith on the blog today. I remember this song came on one day when I was in the car with my sister and her little baby (who isn't such a baby anymore), Gage. We talked about how perfect this song is for babies!

So, Myla, you and I listened to it today while you were off in dreamland.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

chorus

I don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah
