* Snuggles with you as we rock away those cries
* You grabbing my arm as we walk around to make sure I don't let go
* Seeing you give family smiles on 4th of July weekend
* Sleeping snuggles with your head buried into my side ("spider baby" pose!)

* Practicing kissy faces with you and seeing you smile at the noises

* Diapers: Newborn/1's (switched around 6 weeks)
* Clothes: Newborn and more 0-3 month onesies
* Favorites: snuggling, having your hair washed, being propped up on someone's shoulder or in a sitting position, hiding your face while you sleep, listening to Mommy hum, walks in the stroller, car rides, sleep sheep, lights, kissy noises, & talking with Mommy & Daddy while being changed
* Least favorites: having a tummy that is too full, hiccups, losing your paci, not being upright to see the action, pedicures (it tickles!), tummy time, being still in your car seat if you are strapped in, and shots!
* Skills: grabbing at objects (including Mommy's hair!), improved hand/eye coordination, holding your head up longer while walking around, following voices and objects, smiling, starting to make noises (ahhs and ooos)
