30 New Little Things

Random Observation/Comment #607: She’s the missing TARDIS to my Doctor Who.

Why this list?

I lived for a lot of little things and even wrote a whole list about it: http://seelemonslive.com/2015/08/07/list-of-30-the-little-things/

Since writing this list, there have been a lot of new little things that have been making me beam with pride and joy. Happiness still comes in little doses. Enjoy them because they grow up so fast.

Things I Love Now

1. Her smile so wide she squints
2. Her little giggle and squeal
3. When she holds my finger with her tiny hands
4. Her swaying and bobbing when she hears a song
5. Her love of blueberries to the point of stuffing a handful in her mouth until she can barely chew
