Things I love about.....

RILEY:
  • Her twinkly little glassy brown eyes
  • Her goofy smile
  • Her favorite thing to talk to me about is "ah-goo!"
  • Her doughiness
  • Her dimply cheekies
  • Her ability to put her head way up and use her arms during tummy time
  • Her swirly cowlick on her forhead
  • The potential she has to be an amazing person and to do great things
  • Her snuggliness
  • Even her cry
CAILEN:

  • Her songs about the "EFG's" and mommy, daddy and baby
  • The way she dances, exercises, claps, with or runs to find her letter to go with the letter of the day during sesame street
  • The way she's trying to say everything all of the sudden, even sentences!
  • The way she still needs me even though I feel like she's grown up
  • When she sees me cry she always comes to wipe away my tears while sitting on my lap, as close to my face as she can get with a concerned look, then she'll independently get a tissue to really wipe my tears away...turn her head to the side and smile to make me feel happy...I've never felt so much love than that from a child. She's so compassionate :)
  • Her hugs, snuggles, and kisses
  • The way she says hi to Riley, and makes Riley kiss her
  • The way she loves her daddy
  • The way her hair and eyes sparkle in the sun like a rare jewel
  • Her fangy smile
  • Her sense of humor and "hamminess"
  • She is already growing into a wonderful, creative, smart and funny person
The thing i love about them both is that they are mine!

Keep the eyes of yours Becky! These eyes will speak to the heart of your children as they grow. You will have these glimpses of who they are and who they can be, and they need to hear it! A nearby friend,
