Things I love about Mya

I am holding Mya in my arms and as I look at her I can't help but think of all the things I love about her. Here are just a few:

• The way she sucks on nothing when she is asleep
• Her long eyelashes
• Her pierced ears--she is such a little diva in the making
• The way she sighs when she has nothing to look at
• When she laughs as she dances and watches herself in the mirror
• How she curls her toes when she tries to sit up
• The way she eats her oatmeal and savors every bit of the spoon
• The way she looks at me and Tim when she hasn't seen us in awhile
• When she waits at the kitchen window for my arrival
• When she is wrapped like a burrito
• When she splashes in the bathtub and soaks the floor
• How she laughs at her Michigan mobile
• The way she acts when she wakes up in the morning (so happy)
• The way she cuddles into me when she cries
• Her bottom lip when she cries (it quivers like you wouldn't believe)
• The way she babbles when we are driving
• The way she discovers new things (her eyes open really wide)
• The tear that inevitably falls down her cheek when its cold outside
• The way she rubs her eyes when she is tired
• When she stretches out after being released from the burrito wrap-job
• Her cute little bum and legs in a diaper (I don't know if I will get over this one. It is so cute.)
• How happy she is when someone is holding her close
• Her deep blue eyes (I don't know where she gets them from)
• When her cheeks get red when she is in the sun for five minutes
• How she focuses on Tim's intramural basketball game each week
• The excited face she gives when she sees the bottle
• The way she chews on her gums (teething...poor girl)
• When she hits the keyboard and my documents get erased
• When she helps me cook
• When she chews on the desk while I write papers
• How she makes it difficult to put a diaper on because she kicks her legs
• The way she smiles at the yellow Johnson and Johnson bottle in the bathtub (we affectionately call it "her friend")
  
• When she is playing with daddy and forgets anyone else is around
• When she gives her mad face (she gets it from her momma)
• How she hates to be woken up in the morning
• How she wants to put everything in her mouth
• The way she looks in her stroller (so very tiny)
• When she does crunches (she has abs of steel)
• How she wants to be a big girl already
• The way she stares at other babies
• When she grunts
• When she holds my finger
• When she blows bubbles
• When she spits up on a new outfit
• How she pulls my hair whenever she can reach it (no wonder why people cut their hair)
• How she looks in her Sunday dresses
• Her little belly (you'd have to see it)
• Her voice (I love when she talks)

I got a little carried away. I can't help but love her so much. She is the sweetest little thing. I couldn't have asked for more. My cup runneth over....
