- how she knows exactly what she wants
- the baby curls in her hair
- her love of moving heavy things all by herself
- how sweet she is with her babies
- how she lets me kiss and kiss and kiss on her. I hope she never stops.
- her love of her aunties
- her love of baths
- how she eats veggies so well
- her crooked little foot
- how she already knows to play quietly near bedtime hoping we won't notice the time
- how she cleans up her toys so nicely
- how she scrunches up her whole face to smell flowers
- how she pats my back while i'm holding her
- how she is somehow already funny
- how she helps set the table each night
- how she helps cook dinner -- the whole while eating whatever I've given her to 'work' on
- how, from whatever age she first looked at books, she has always had strong preferences
- how she never forgets
- how she loves her grandparents
- how her kisses are SO genuine. they're never just handed out
- how she loves to run away and can't wait for you to chase her
- how she stands and points to the floor and signs please (if we're lucky) to make us stand up and then gives us our next order
- how brave she is (or crazy) slides, trampolines, stairs are all no match for her
- how she says "Hmmmmmmmmmmm" when we open the pantry while she selects something to eat
- how she high-fives and then knuckles
- how happy she is to see us (Joe says almost as happy as we are to see her)
- how she 'hides' things and then looks at me and says "Where'd it go?" quite seriously
- the way she prefers to snack in her bath
- the way she lies down all the way on the ground after falling slightly. i hope she doesn't become THAT kid in PE class.
- the way she deadpans some people
Of course there's a million more reasons. I already feel guilty for whatever I've left off.

Thanks for the giggles! :)
I love that she hides things and asks where they are. This is such a fun(ny) age.
