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.

    my son did the rubbing his feet thing when he was born. he's four and he still does it. it's comforting and it soothes him.

    Precious! I love reading about your baby girl. My two are now 12 and 19 years old and I sure miss those moments.

    Oh...what I've been working on... creatively...a scrapbook for my daughter's fastpitch team's silent auction...their basket will include a completed softball scrapbook with a local store GC and a GC to Costco for photo developing. I'm also making a flip flop book for a pedicure basket for the same auction...
    Personally...loosing 3 more pounds before Spring break! 10 down, 3 more to go, 16 days until take off for sunny FL.
    Professionally...working on some lessons for teaching reading...that is my personal professional challenge...I know how to do it, I just want to do it better and more authentically so that my students will really LOVE reading...so important for these little 2nd graders!
    That is what I'm working on...
