18 Month Rosie

With her new baby

Rosie is such an extraordinary little girl. She is sweet and opinionated and sensitive. How I love this little cuddle bug! She is independent, but she knows how life goes around our home; as soon as lunch is over and her hands are washed, she waves bye to Jared and starts heading upstairs for her nap. Rosie's eloquent requests behind earnest eyes just melt us into submission. She is a natural goofball- twirling in the curtains during pajama time, tossing unwanted vegetables away, tickling and dog-piling whenever she has the chance. Anything infant size or smaller get called baby and air kissed. How could we live without our sweet girl?
