7 things I love about my 7 month old ...

(in no particular order)

- the way she lights up the room when she smiles
- the way she grabs my face and pulls me close for a snuggle
- the way she kicks her legs when she is excited
- the way she gazes into her daddy's eyes
- the way she giggles when we play baby games 
- the way she watches her big sister with amazement
- the way she observes the world around her and soaks it all in

 This old Billy Joel song comes to my mind when I think of her...

She's got a way about her 
I don't know what it is 
But I know that I can't live without her 
She's got a way of pleasin' 
I don't know why it is 
But there doesn't have to be a reason anywhere 

She's got a smile that heals me 
I don't know what it is 
But I have to laugh when she reveals me 
She's got a way of talkin' 
I don't know why it is 
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere 

She comes to me when I'm feelin' down 
Inspires me without a sound 
She touches me and I get turned around 

She's got a way of showin' 
How I make her feel 
And I find the strength to keep on goin' 
She's got a light around her 
And ev'rywhere she goes a million 
Dreams of love surround her everywhere 

She's got a way about her 
I don't know what it is 
But I know that I can't live without her any way 

I am totally smitten with my precious baby girl!
