:)

Unprovoked cuddles.

This makes my day. 

This melts me

This too.

Remember

I held your perfect body in my arms right as you were drifting off.  I ask "are you my girl? " you nodded.  I ask "do you know that I love you?" You nod again.  Within moments you are asleep.

So simple. 

Yet I will pay every single day you remember these things. 

You are my girl.
And I love you more than I'll ever be able to explain. 
My sweet moon.
Precious Maya Narae.
Please never forget.

18 months

My sweet girl is 18 months. 
You are so feisty and wonderful.  You can climb to the highest pointin any room if given the chance.  You love milk.  I try to pet other things,  nope,  all milk.  You went through 7 quarts one week. You love to sing these days and you sing along to the radio and tv with your "words".
You love your kangaroos,  cars,  Elmo and Abby. You are very vocal,  and somewhat demanding in your strong willed way. 
You can say lots of things:
Uncle
Dada
Mama
Baba
Kaka is Carly
Kaga is kanga
Hi,  erro and buhbye are used a lot.
Purple and turtle

Baby

Abby and elmo and cookie and you try so hard to say grover.
Mimmy is kimmi
Bababall is basketball and nana is banana and mok is milk (Julian used to say moxx so it is so cute) and so many more in the moment is amazing!
You can say come home "um hOne!" And hone is also phone. You love talking on the phone and you take mine every chance you get.
You love love to watch Daniel tiger "Tye!" And word world "ow wow". And sid the science kids.  You are very curious,  always pulling things from the pantry or climbing on something or figuring something out.  This morning you climbed from your crib to my bed to wake me up.  You talk about peepy and poopy and going potty, you are going to be easy to potty train I think.  You love water,  swimming "immy" and bath time "bata!" You always try to drink what isn't yours. You have a real knack for finding mischief and your just learning.  You take or things and run away,  you climb up onto the counters while I go to the restroom or do laundry.  You hide things all the time.  You pick on brother all the time,  hitting and kicking so we are working on that. You are surprising me every day and I love that you are mine.  Crazy little Roman candle and you mean everything to me moon. 
I'm so thankful for the first 18 months and eager to see you grow. 

Oh you

I woke up this am to you having climbed from your crib and onto my bed. If course we had to come watch Elmo.
Love you babe.
