my very own snuggle bear
i just have to let you know how sweet dahlia is!!! it is fun writing from her perspective but i also want to tell you from mine.
first of all, she is a snuggle bear. i was hoping and praying that she would be snuggly before she was born . early on she was not at all. she just wanted down, but now she actually comes over to me and lays her head on me all the time. she will be across the room and walk over and hug me and stay there for a while! if i am laying on the floor she will almost always come lay on me... she likes to tackle us too. pretty much if we are on the floor she wants to wrestle. so sweet!!
for some reason she loves hair! she likes to touch it and then she will pull some out if you are not careful. when i tell her "no, that hurts mamma" she just giggles and keeps doing it. i know that she understands a lot more than it seems though. the other day we told her to bring us a specific book from across the room, and she went over and picked it up and brought it back. it was so cute! or whenever we ask her to come over and snuggle, she will. she just gets smarter and more interactive every day!
she also loves books. she will sit and turn the pages and babble on as if she is reading it. she does this sometimes for about 45 minutes! but once you make eye contact with her, she wants you to read them to her. she is stuck on peter pan right now, she really likes the first page. she will turn it a few pages past but then always goes back to the first page. and if i stop reading she doesnt like it.
on a different note, justin just walked in with a big package of muffins from the store. i have been craving cake for like two weeks and i just needed a fix!! what a sweet husband!
anyways, one last thing about dahlia. she has been going to bed so good! we have a little ritual we do. we missed about a week and it messed everything up but now she is back on track. we read her books on the couch and finish it off with the book "mommy hugs" then we give her her mr snuggle bear and then we pray for her and then justin takes her in her room. he lays her down and immediately she turns onto her tummy and skoots to the corner of her crib and goes to sleep!!! can you believe it?!?! what a sweet little angel! we really just cant believe how precious she is! i bet she gets more smooches than anyone(=
