and 19 things I love about Meili Grace...
- How easily she learned how to 'beat box' from her siblings
- How she will stop (even in the middle of a tantrum) to rock out to any music she hears
- How she sucks her thumb and rubs the thumb-sucking hand with the other hand when she is about to fall asleep
- How whenever she sees Matt and I kiss, she will pucker up for a kiss from both of us
- How she calls her jammies her 'mimi's' and Noah, 'Wah Wah'
- How if anything drops, she'll say 'uh-oh' repeatedly until someone picks it up
- How she has learned all of the hand motions to the Popcorn Song and will use the same motions to embellish any other song she hears
- How she is the first one to fold her arms and bow her head for prayer at dinner time
- Her priceless giggle
- How anytime Daddy picks her up after dinner time, she assumes it is time for her 'Bap' (bath)
- How after she is dressed and her hair is done in the morning, she looks in the mirror and is so proud of herself
- How she will smile at me and wave bye bye any time she leaves the room I am in
- How she thinks that now that she can say and sign 'please', she should get anything she wants when she uses them. :)
- How she loves to point out babies. This includes the doll variety and any child under the age of 5 when we are out in public.
- How she tries to lead the music at church.
- How she has learned to nod her head yes to any question because doing so usually results in her getting something or going somewhere.
- How she claps her hands twice before reaching out to be held.
- How her ponytails curl into little 'fireworks.'
- How when she is being dressed, she waves and says 'hi' as each hand comes out of the sleeve.
When we were waiting, a month seemed soooo long. Now the months seem to fly by now that we have her home. I don't want to forget all of the little things that make Meili the amazing little girl that she is. We love you Meili Grace!
