The Top 10 Reasons Why You are Awesome

I love lists. Here goes.

10. You are cute. This is so basic, it goes at number 10. You are really really cute, but let's just leave it at the bottom line. You are cute.

9. You are a rock star traveller. You are good on planes! The couple behind you on the flight to Boston didn't even know there was a baby there, and on the way home, you slept and then looked out the window! So good. Keep that up for the next year or so, and you'll really be a rock star.

8. You can sometimes put your own pacifier in your mouth! And only 4 months old!

7. You are already 26 inches long. That's long! Perhaps you'll be as tall as your Auntie K.

6. You are always in good spirits. Always! It's so rare you cry, and then it's only when you need something or are pissed off about something. It's really great.

5. You make everyone happy. It's so weird how a baby can just make everyone happy, but it's true.

4. You found your feet. You hang on to them and play with them.

3. You dig a bath. And when your mom accidentally sprays you full on in the face, you just sputter a little and don't even get that annoyed! Amazing!

2. You smile with your eyes! You also smile with your mouth, but if your mouth is occupied, you smile with your eyes instead. It's really charming.

And the number 1 reason you are awesome:

1. You love me! Whenever I come into a room, you smile and you let me make you laugh a lot. It's pretty cool.
