Leo - 10 months

Oh how I love thee. Let me count the ways.

I LOVE...

-the way you smile up at me from your crib each morning with your mussed-up hair and your sleepy eyes
-the way you get so excited when your daddy walks in the room
-the way you flirt with everyone with that precious grin
-that you can be totally stubborn about eating...until you taste what is on the spoon
-how you love peaches even though I can't stand them
-that you drool proudly
-that you will chew on ANYTHING
-how you always seem desperate to get your hands on Gabby or Gus whenever they are in the same room
-how proud you are of yourself when you sit yourself up
-how excited you get when you hear the Backyardigans theme song
-your voice, so precious and quiet as you say dada, blabla, etc.
-how jazzed you get at the sight of your bottle
-that you love your babysitter
-that you will happily allow anyone to hold you
-how you smile at perfect strangers until they look at you and smile back
-your hugs, with those tiny arms wrapped around my neck, squeezing it
-how excited you are while riding in your stroller or grocery cart
-that you are totally happy 98% of the time and almost never cry
-how excited you get when we walk towards the front door to go outside
-how much you love crinkly noises
-that you enjoy almost anything that is peach flavored
-that you are terrified of the vacuum cleaner and are desperate to be held
-how much you love bath time
-your wet, slobbery, licking kisses that you will plant on me at any given moment

Mostly, sweet Leo, I love the way you melt my heart each and everyday!
