Ten Things

Idella came to work with me today, which she usually does, but today I noticed how big she is getting! She is growing so fast and is becoming more and more curious everyday. We walked around upstairs at the store and her head was on a swivel. We were busy business ladies today, working late in the afternoon and then coming home. I really needed to clean the house but traded that time instead for a mini-nap with her. It was just one of those days...

I can't wait for her to grow up to do so many things with her, but I also want her to stay my baby. So here is the list of my ten favorite things about her from today since I'm feeling kind of sentimental:

1. The way her hair is growing in on the top of her head and it seems to glow because it's so blonde
2. The way she smiles at me when she first wakes up from a nap
3. How much she likes her stuffed giraffe blanket and how excited she gets when he "kisses" her

4. How she squints when we walk around outside and hides her face in my shoulder
5. The look on her face when she pulls herself up and I hold her so she can "stand"
6. The way she has learned how to make her bouncy chair rock n' roll
7. How she wraps an arm around mine and holds on when I am holding her
8. The way she "talks" and coo's to her lion/zebra mobile
9. How she sticks out her little belly when she stretches
10. Her smile and everything about it, especially the drool

So those are my top ten from today, I'm sure there will be at least ten more new things tomorrow...
