36

Today Copper is 36 days old. We love:
1. That she is ours.
2. How she arches her neck like it's going to fall off so she can look around.
3. How incredibly strong she is, like when we're dressing her and she won't bend her legs to fit in her pajamas.
4. How she can sleep through a fire engine siren one moment and wake with a creek in the floor the next.
5. When she makes her mouth into an "o" shape sometimes when trying to pass gas.
6. How sometimes when she eats it sounds as if she's never been fed in her life.
7. When she chuckles. Yes she laughs. Yes, I know child development, and experts may say she's too young. However, I heard that the veil is so thin between here and heaven that when babies smile or, yes, laugh, it could be that their so close to God.
8. How she loved her swing for two weeks and now screams as if it's torture.
9. How she can cry, no, scream, for several hours. We love this because then when she's quiet we're reminded of peace.
10. How she sometimes thrashes her head from side to side when eating or reaching for her pacifier.
11. How she very clearly tells us when she doesn't want something.
12. That sometimes she sleeps with her left eye cracked open. I think she's keeping an eye on us.
13. When she snorts like a farm animal. Tim is so proud.
14. That she has hair.
15. That her hair has definite curl.
16. That she doesn't mind when we spike her hair in a mohawk.
17. That she has small ears.
18. When her belly bulges over her diaper after she eats.
19. How she's growing a double chin.
20. That she survived our smoky home.
21. Her calic (spelling?) right on the front of her head.
22. The time she gives me off work.
23. That she screams when we rub "calming" lotion on her.
24. When she wakes up and cries after hitting herself in the face.
25. That she often sleeps with both arms over her head.
26. That she often throws both arms up when startled.
27. That she falls asleep when eating, at the drop of a hat, and throws her head back with her mouth gaping wide open.
28. When she dreams about dragons chasing her. That's what it looks like.
29. How likes to roll on her side to sleep, and take a bath.
30. How many of you don't believe she can roll on her side but I know what I'm talking about.
31. That she falls alseep when we read the scriptures out loud to her. This is very funny.
32. That others think she's beautiful.
33. That she loves her stroller and has suckered Tim into going for walks almost every night.
34. That she thinks the world revolves around her.
35. That she looks like Tim.
36. How she's perfect.
