My Girl

I am really enjoying the time I have with Marissa these days.  It is fun to see the things she likes and the way she plays, it is so different from the way Shane played at that age.  Sometimes it drives me crazy- she loves to gather everything in our house it seems and she has very specific ideas about where she wants to place them all and exactly how she wants to do it.  And often involves a big mess.




It cracks me up that she really can't smile on command.  I was trying to coach her and told her to make her lips go up and she did this and said, "are my lips up now?" 
Sometimes I manage to catch a good one.  And I know I'm biased but sometimes I just stare at her and think man she's beautiful.   
And then she manages to do something like eat chalk.  
I ordered  a few clothes online to fill out some of her outfits and she was SO excited when we opened the package and very carefully laid out each potential outfit.  

And then danced around in a circle around them.  Pink and purple clothes are VERY exciting.
