When getting the girls dressed this morning Addison was explaining to Samantha the different animals on her jammies and demonstrating the noises each one makes.
Very sweet.

Boo 'Mantha!

A very common refrain in our house is "Boo 'Mantha", usually spoken by Addison in a VERY loud voice an inch from Samantha's face.
Apparently we're practicing for some great peekaboo marathons in the near future.
Peekaboo Samantha.

Sharks say "ROARRRRRR!"

What I love...

What I love about infants:
All the squeaks, grunts, groans and hums. they are noisy little critters.
That sweet, milky, earthy smell on the top of their head.
Tiny little fingernails.
How their legs are folded up and they look like little tree frogs when laying on your chest.
Big toothless, open mouth grins that come from just looking at you in the eyes.
Little fists tucked under her chin while she sleeps.
Those dear first laughs that are more like gurgles.
Watching her feet and toes wiggle while she's nursing.


What I love about toddlers:
The random use of annunciation and tone when talking.
The ABC song sung at the top of her lungs when happy.
How clothes never fit quite right.
"I love you mommy" as I'm tucking her in at night.
That silly little run as she's happy playing around the house and cruising from room to room.
That great laugh that starts as a baby giggle in the back of her throat and ends in a belly laugh.
Singing her favorite songs to herself.
