10

Nixon,

To celebrate you turning 10 months old, I wanted to tell you 10 things that I love and adore about you....

1. I love that tickling your back gets you to calm down and often gets you to fall asleep.

2. I love how wild and strong you are.

3. I love how you steal food from your siblings and that I can't count the number of times I have caught you with your own apple.

4. I love that we can't tell what color of eyes you really have. They are a deep blue with brown in the middle. I wonder if they will stay or change. Either way, they are beautiful.

5. I love that you still sleep in our bed. 

6. I love watching you watch the kids play in the back yard through the windows of the back door. 

7. I love how much you love your dad. You can't get enough of him. You freak out when he comes home and cry when he leaves.

8. I love that you look exactly how I thought you would. I knew you would have soft blond curls.

9. I love your dimples and they way your smile lights up your face. 

10. I love that since you were a newborn you are always happy to see me and want me. When you were almost 4 weeks old you opened your eyes, saw me, closed them and smiled. It has always felt like you were happy I was around and that is an incredible feeling. 

I love you Nixy!!!!!
