I Don't Want to Forget

I don't ever want to forget...

...your rosy cheeks when you get too warm..

...your precious smile..

...the adorable things you say...

~"specky" for spaghetti

~"wide job" for good job

~"snuck" for skunk (my personal favorite)

~"newvie" for movie

~"hemmit" for elephant (although you are growing out of this)

~"momose" for waffles (growing out of this one, too. *sniff, sniff*)

~"I share it?" when you want a toy that someone else has

~"Tuesday, Threesday, Foursday, Fivesday"

~"Fweese, pweese?" for please, please?

...your very serious side...

...how hard it is to make you smile for the camera... *sigh*

...that you hardly had any hair until you were over 2 years old...

Gilly, you are getting so big, so fast.

I hope I always remember this precious time in your life. You are such a sweet and tender hearted little girl. You are most definitely a precious gift that the Lord has given us and we love you more than words can say.
