Things we don't want to forget...part II

The first part of this I did when I was pregnant, and now I am so thankful I get to write another one of precious memories with our baby girl. I'm writing these for her to read when she gets older.

To Miss Emily Grace, things we never want to forget...

-the song that your daddy made up for you to the tune of your playmat song, "Where is Emily, where is Emily, there she is, there she is. How are you today maam? Very fussy thank you. Run away, run away." haha!

-When you were swaddled, your daddy would say "Hi burrito!!" and when you were fussy in your swaddle we would say you were a spicy burrito

-How after nursing you would look up at me and say "A-boo" and have a huge smile on your face. I like to think it was you thanking me for such a good meal :)

-The first month of your life you slept in your swing because you loved it so much. We had a sheep that played white noise, but it would only play for 45 minutes. Your daddy and I slept in the living room on the couches with you, and when your sheep would stop, you would wake up. So literally every 45 minutes one of us would wake up and say, "GET THE SHEEP!!!" in hopes of turning it back on before you woke up :)

-Sit-ups with Daddy, mommy and grammy

-When we dress you, when we pull your shirt over your head we say, "Where is Emily?!" and we pull it down and say, "There she is!!" and you smile HUGE everytime

-When we would be driving, your daddy and I would hear the paci fall out of your mouth and knew a meltdown would ensue about 3 seconds later :)

-You love to pee in the bathtub and we call it the fountain of youth. It's a tradition to watch for the fountain of youth!

-When you would poop, fart, lift your shirt, and most recently your skirt (yes, your daddy has heart attacks when this happens) we say, "Be a lady!"

-We love your gummy smiles

-Being "nakey baby"...you LOVE to be naked. More heart attacks for daddy ;)

-I love how your daddy can give you kisses on your neck and you giggle so much at him

Those are all for now! As time goes by a new list will form. Thank you Lord for all of these little blessings.
