1) Fearlessness. This little baby of mine is not afraid of anything. She will go down the slide face first, she will run right into the pool to the point where she can't see her toes anymore, and she will do daredevil stair jumps now that her sister never dreamed of doing at not-quite 2 years old.
2) Food. Most mornings when we go into her room to take her out of her crib, the first thing she does is ask for food or drink. Sandwich? Bagel? Milk? If she's upset about something, she's usually easily calmed down with the promise of a cracker. (A foodie, and a carb junkie, at that!)
3) Smile! When I take pictures of her she almost never smiles at the camera, no matter how much I asked her to. However, if I ask her to show me her teeth, that's when I usually get the best smiles.
4) Processes. She's very procedurally-focused. When we go into the bathroom to get ready for the day, she starts to recite to me the things she needs to do and the steps she needs to do to complete them.
5) Hair. She has just about the most peculiar hair I've ever seen in a child. In the winter it's much darker, and in the summer it lightens up to almost auburn. It's ringlet curls in some places and stick-straight in others. People ask me all the time how I think it's going to turn out when she gets older, and I really don't know - it seems to be different almost every day.
Here she is, doing one of her favorite activities.
