a few of my favorite things

- the way Pieper will look at you with her head down and eyes looking up because she knows she is cute

- how when you ask her to put her book back, or throw something away, or send her to go get something she will do it because she knows what you are asking her to do

- how she still loves to dance

- how she gives the baby belly a kiss

- how she will walk herself into her room to take a nap

- how she still likes to eat most foods

- how she laughs when Jeff is teasing her

- how when she wants something she will point at it and then the palm of her hand

- how much she likes popcorn

- how she says M& M

- watching her read to herself

- the smile she will give you when she wants something

- her hugs, kisses and head nods

- how she likes to walk backwards, partly because we make the beep noise a truck makes, she is starting to say 'beep'!

- watching her watch herself in the mirror

- chasing her around the house.... and around and around... :) She is getting much faster and she will change directions when she hears the floor squeak

- the way she talks to herself and toys when she first wakes up from sleeping
