- You are such a tease! And you know it. You get a certain little smile on your face when you're teasing one of us.
- You started talking in complete sentences one Tuesday in March and you're getting better everyday.
- You love to play with babies and you take such good care of them.
- You're so loving and affectionate.
- When you want to be held you put your arms up and say "I hold you?". Your second cousin does the same thing so I'm thinking it might be a genetic cuteness.
- You love to cook and you start out by saying "I cook" and then bring us your delicious concoctions.
- When you get mad you have a way of screaming at us that truly conveys your rage and indignation. And it's actually adorable.
- You love to give loves (hugs) and kisses.
- You are determined to catch up to your older sister and insist that you can do the same things that she can.
- Much of the time, you succeed.
- You tell hilarious knock knock jokes that go like this "knock knock? who's there? Daddy!!" and then laugh and laugh.
- You often tell us that things are too loud.
- You point at things all through the day and say "mine?". It becomes a game and you smile your little mischievous smile when asking about things you already know are yours.

- You love to dance and take it very seriously.
- You know your ABC's and love to sing them.
- I've sung "You are my sunshine" to you since you were a tiny baby. And now you sing along with me.
- You know what you like and what you don't like. And no one is changing your mind!
- I love your sweet baby curls around your head.
- You have no fear. I'm hoping that you get some soon.
- Any time someone sneezes you say "bless you".
- Any time I cough, you ask me if I'm okay.
- Whenever you pass gas, you have to announce that you tootied before saying "scue me".
- Lately you have insisted on "plimbing" into the van and your car seat yourself.
- But love to be carried the rest of the time.
- You love to have your hair done and insist that I put a pony in your hair.
- You like to pick between one or two ponies.
- You love looking at yourself in the mirror.
- I just love looking at you.
- You have a great laugh.
- When you and Lolly play together and start laughing, I'm reminded of why I chose to spend my life as your mom.
Just one short year ago you were my little baby Babs.
