big smiles

What can I say about Gwyneth...besides she is perfection! She is such a sweet little girl and she absolutely melts my heart. She is very quick - she loves to read, do puzzles, care for her babies, build with her blocks, and cook in her kitchen. She knows her ABC's, can count to 10, and loves to sing songs including "Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Jesus Loves Me", "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep".  She really enjoys coloring but prefers blank white paper to coloring books. There's no keeping this girl within the lines.  I often wonder if that is a metaphor for her future....

Gwyneth is a snuggler - she still gives the best hugs. She really gets into it, wraps her around your neck, and squeezes her little arms as tight as she can. You have to feel loved after one of her hugs. I wish we could bottle them because it makes all your worries disappear. She gives good smooches, says "Love you", and is a total daddy's girl.

My girl loves to dance. She sticks her booty out and rocks whenever she hears music! She loves "Brown Eyed Girl" which her and Annabelle call "Mommy's song". She is full of life and spunk, but very little sass. She is approaching two and she has her moments of defiance but she is typically laid back and easy going. She is quick to share (for the most part), but also plays really well independently. 

Gwyneth is my good eater. She never turns down a meal and don't even think about taking her food. She has had quite a few run-ins with Grandpa Bob, as he attempts to steal food (mostly sweets) from the grandkids plates. Even Grandpa knows, Gwyneth never loses! She had the cutest little belly which is now slimming down as she's going from chubby baby to slim toddler. She has the Paz cheeks, very thick hair, green eyes, and a very small brownish birthmark on her side - all of of which wrap up to the beautiful little GG we all adore.

Gwyneth amazes me every day. I guess there is just no keeping her a baby, as much as I'd like to. ...
