I love the way you sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Hearts as Strong as Horses. I love it when you crawl into my lap and say &#8220;I am a baby to sing songs with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Love you to the moon and back,<br \/>\nMama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy birthday to my little Lilian!
