seven months (and a few days)


Oh my sweet baby girl. Where do I begin? You have such a big personality. You have changed so much in just a month.
You have developed your taste buds and the way they have developed makes me question whether or not you were switched at birth. You love veggies. Love them. And that is not all. You despise fruits. I have to trick you into eating fruit in the morning. I am lucky to get half a jar into you. But as soon as I bust out the vegetables, you will gulp down all you can. You open your mouth as big as you can and stick your tongue all the way out. For every bite.
Your new laugh is a funny one. You sound like you are hyperventilating. You open your mouth to laugh and then suck in and out real fast.
You have this thing with your tongue. It is always out of your mouth. Always. Just sitting there, chilling. It is really cute.
And when you don't like something, everyone knows. You have got a temper on you. It is kind of funny watching you throw an out and out temper tantrum just because I took away the rock that your brother handed you. It probably won't be so cute in a year from now, so get it all out now please.
You are my baby girl. I can't explain to you how much I love you. Seeing your face in the morning when you have just woken up and you give me that smile that makes your eyes dance and your whole face up, that is the way I want to start every morning.
