why olivia is my current favorite baby


why olivia isabelle j. is my current favorite baby. (the short list.)
1. she likes to cuddle. even asleep.
2. she gets really excited over stuffed animals. really really excited.
3. her waist size is almost the same as mady's.
4. those crazy baby teeth are crazy cute.
5. the way her little baby hair curls up around her fat neck.
6. because she dances when she hears music. even from commercials.
7. she will find a way to climb inside of any basket or box she sees. (see dig and throw below.)
8. mama ma ma mama ma ma mama
9. she will go to sleep without nursing.
10. she has to be rubbing someone to go to sleep. any arm will do, preferably moms.
11. she loves food. she eats more than mj most meals.
12. she laughs easily. oh the laugh is oh so cute.
13. the lip sucking when she's tired. unbelievably adorable.
14. she loves the water. loves to swim and splash.
15. she is good in the car.
16. those fat rolls. the back of her neck, her wrists, fingers, thighs.
17. she will even fall asleep sitting up.
18. bright aqua blue eyes. (that's not photoshop people)
19. the dig and throw: she gets into cupboards, shelves, boxes, bags or purses- grabs things out one at a time and hucks them behind her back.
20. that big happy toofy smile.
i admit to being excited when i hear that she's up from her nap. and when i hear the quicker slap slap slap slap slap of her hands on the tile as she excitedly crawls to see me. (quicker than the normal, slower, unexcited slap slap slap slap.) she's just perfect. and almost one, i can't believe it. this is the only day she will be eleven months and twenty days, but every day she will be our sweet baby liv.

What a doll! And what a sweet tribute from her mom that can be kept and preserved through the years. And how did you do the going to sleep without nursing thing? I would really like to know (x2!)
