You = Love.

Alianna

The way you grip your ear with your little fist as you sleep. I imagine this is one of the ways you hung out before being born and wonder if it will be something you will carry on with you as you grow up.

The way your eyelashes are growing and uncurling just a bit at a time.

The way you hold your thumb between your pointer & middle fingers as you make a fist.

The way you have started to give us those beautiful smiles.

The way you rub your feet together while nursing.

The way you are making things easy on me with your go-with-the-flow personality.

The way you fit right in with our little family.

You = love.

    i wonder what she would say about you?
    the way you take time to really look at me..
    the way you let me go at my own pace...
    they way you let my brother take such an active role with me...
    the way your hair smells when you hold me...
    the way you look at my dad...

    OMG...she's too sweet...I really could just "eat her up" I guess having children and loving babies makes me a "cannibal" now because I think babies are delicious! I miss the smell and the warmth and the wonderfulness (not a word I know) that babies are...love them! Enjoy "nibbling" on her!!!
