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.

    How precious and beautiful. I'm sure those words will end up on a scrapbook layout. :-) I'm looking forward to having my own little newborn to hold in 2 months...

    Oh, Ali, you make me cry with all these posts. I am 17 weeks pregnant with baby #3 (and our last baby), and it makes me nostalgic already, and I haven't even had her yet. Yes, I said her, we're having a girl, too, and I hope she's as beautiful as your Anna!

    Ali she is beautiful and such a precious photo. I so wish I had made notes of the little things as you have. I love their little sausage shaped fingers and tiny nails, I remember cutting them the first time. Ah, memories....... Mine are 13 and 14(one of each, like you), time flies!

    What a great photo and great words to capture your memories.
    I am pregnant, expecting our first child in May, and am enjoying blogging to document the pregnancy. Also looking forward to continuing the blog after the birth as well.
    Enjoy your little one. (I hear they don't stay little all that long.)

    Love this photo, Ali. I'm so happy to be sharing your journey. I know this might not be the right place to ask this question, but here goes anyway: some time back you mentioned using iJournal for blog entries. I have finally gotten around to checking it out since I want to get back to posting to my own blog (almost a year now!). Seems iJournal has been abandoned by the developers, but I'm still willing to try it. My question is this: are you still using it, and do you find any problems with it? I use blogger and have not checked their website yet. Also, any tips for using it?
