...the first time I found her sleeping on her tummy (so cute).
...the way she sprawls out in her bed when she is sleeping.
...the way she cuddles with her stuffed "friends."
...the way she "loveys" on her stuffed "friends" and blankies.
...the way she gives me her "I'm so cute" face "don't you want to give me what I am asking for?"
...the way she pouts.
...the first time she crawled.
...the first time she walked.
...the way she used to lie across my shoulder and coo in my ear.

...the evening she saw my cell phone on the kitchen counter and proceeded to point to it and pout because she wanted it.
...watching her interact with her friends Braydon and Jack at daycare.
...watching her play with the neighbors.
...when she crawled down the driveway, turned onto the side walk (yes, she did that without me prompting her), and crawled all the way down to the corner..and of course...babbling the whole time.
...when she walked down the driveway, turned onto the side walk (a little prompting from me), and walked all the way down to the corner...laughing because she loved this new freedom.
...the way she would hold dirt or mulch or anything in both hands.
...when she started handing me stuff (the dead worm was the best).
...fun times in the bath tub.

...the way she had so much fun in her jumperoo.
...her toothless smile.
...the way she would concentrate when playing with her toys.
...the way she knocked down all the towers I would build.
...how she slept all day and would be awake all night to sleeping at night and being awake all day to sleeping all night and taking a nap during the day (yes, finally a schedule) :) .
...those 2-3am feedings.
...when those 2-3am feedings ended (haha).
...the way she "sings."
...the way she loves me.

The way she is the bestest baby in the whole entire world.
