She's got the most beautiful heart. She's kind and gentle and loving.
Yesterday evening she looked at me and softly whispered "Guess what? I love you". Of course in the next breath she asked me for chocolate, but it didn't matter, she melted me. I looked at Colin and said, "She knows how to play me!". She loves to snuggle and at the moment one of her favourite things is to have us cradle her like a baby and rock her while singing: 'Rock-a-by baby, on the tree top'. Those moments are precious. She's very sensitive and very very cautious.
Her gymnastics instructor recently said; "Lilah will always put her toe in to test the water before jumping in!". It's very true, but I also know even if she did put her toe in, she still wouldn't jump! Sometimes we say she needs a little toughening up. But it's her nature to be a softy and I think it's here to stay, which is just fine, in fact, it's perfect. She's extremely astute.
Oh my, is she ever. We don't get a thing past our girl. At night while she's lying in her crib and I'm getting ready for bed, she can't see me, but she can hear me. She'll continually question me: "You in the bathroom?", "You putting your jammies on?", "You brushing your teeth?", "You in the bedroom now?". By the time I get into bed I feel like I've been thoroughly interrogated! Have I mentioned what a fabulous lawyer or investigator she'd make?! She has a great sense of humor and always has a joke or some fun rivalry up her sleeve!
She really does keep us laughing. She'll say things like "I'm going to drink ALL Mama's tea", "Lilah be Baba's girl", "Don't tell Mama we're eating sweeties", and on and on. She's just adorable and so incredibly sweet. That's our girl!

She is sweet! I love the expressions she has... such concentration when eating a candy necklace. It is hard to look at her pictures and hear you talk about her personality and think that she is only 2.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written words about your little Sweetie!! I love that her personality matches her looks. Seriously, that is how I envision her to be.
ReplyDeleteHer concentrated little scowl is so cute as she studies which candie she will bite off next! I LOVED those necklaces when I was a kid...and that's a LONG one! :) Lucky girl! (Blessed mommy!!!...and daddy!)
She looks like such a sweet little girl! You take such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of Lovely Lilah! What a special girl!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Such a sweetheart, and so smart! You're not gonna be able to get anything past this girl, I'm afraid.
