12 Things I love about My daughter in honor of her 12 months home. It’s been one year since this little girl joined our life. What a year it has been.



I Love…..


The way she say’s “ MWAAA” when she wants a kiss….. she never says the word Kiss.

How she will always ask “ One more time?” …. One more time huggie, One more time slide, One more time Mwaaa, One more time please?

No Fruit Salad!!!….. Papa & I love the way she will adamantly exclaim No fruit salad when we try to sing the Wiggles song to her.

How anyone with a beard is Santa to her….. she will run up to any gentleman with facial hair and yell “ Hi Santa”, even a garden gnome is Santa to her.

How she confuses Amen with Bless you and says “Amen” whenever someone sneezes. I can’t stand the cuteness of that. I don’t know where she picked that up, must be with our evening prayers and in her little head it just makes sense. So now in our home we say Amen when someone sneezes.

Watching her read your first ever book yesterday from cover to cover all by herself at 28 months old. “Blue Hat, Green Hat” by Sandra Boynton


Compassion…. She has such a big heart and hates it when she sees someone crying or sad.

Her energy…. she can light up any room she enters.

Her Zest for life….she tackles the tallest slide and has a fearless attitude that scares the heck out of her parents.


The way she dances…. she concentrates really hard and shakes her bum side to side.


The way she say’s “ Russia”. Where were you born Liv? Ussa!


Her laugh…. She has the best laugh I have ever heard….. It’s like a symphony to my ears. Her laugh is infectious, her whole face lights up and it’s so hearty for such a small girl. I imagine that Julia Roberts may have laughed in a similar fashion when she was two years old.
