Current Favorites


 Yes, I do.  Several times a day!

I have many favorites right now about Lily.  I know they'll change quickly as she continues to change so much each day!

Currently, here are some favorites:
1.  Impromptu giggles and smiles - sometimes for no apparent reason.  I love hearing her giggle.

2.  Endless curiosity - about everything.  Toys, boxes, paper, leaves, sounds, people, food...EVERYTHING!
The playland at the mall - barefoot.  Huge change from the little girl in China who never wanted her shoes she came to us in off.

Index cards were a big hit for a long time one day.  The next day when Lily went to open the drawer where she found them, they were gone!  Her confused look almost made me feel bad for putting them away out of reach.

3.  Can't tell time - so the 8:00 bedtime may mean 7:30 but shhhhh, don't tell her.

4.  Unsolicited hugs and kisses for Mommy and Daddy.  Love when she just wakes up and leans over for a quick kiss.  Or, when she runs up and hugs your legs so tight like you've been gone forever when you really just went to put the clothes in the dryer.

5.  Her attachment to us as well as family in town who she is lucky to have in her life and see so often!

6.  Lily's expression when she tries something to eat for the very first time.  It's just hilarious!
Mmmmm, banana bread.

7.  How cute she looks in her little clothes.

8.  Seeing her love on our puppies.

9. How she rocks her baby doll and "sings" to her.

10.  Getting to see her truly be so happy and content in her home.  This is an awesome experience for all of us!
Her idea - to wear her Daddy's hat after playing at the park.

      It was good to see you the other day! You are right - it's exhausting but very, very wonderful! I use to think there wasn't a more exhausting job than teaching - boy, was I wrong! :)
