Reason #3: Desire


Our heart's desire, to love and be loved....thank you very much Ewan McGregor and Moulin Rouge.
The Little's desire, veggie puffs. Please don't try to take them from her for her scream is loud and long. Perhaps I should have just fed her dinner and stopped taking her picture by bribing her with snacks...hmmm.

Reason #2 Four Letter Words

Cold- having little or no warmth.
Snow-a precipitation in the form of ice crystals.
Cute- attractive, esp. in a dainty way.
Girl- a female child, from birth to full growth.
Love- affectionate concern for the well-being of others

As a whole, I would say that four letter words have relatively easy definitions to follow through with. For example....
I am very cold because of all this snow.
I believe that my little girl is cute.

Seeing that love is a four letter word, shouldn't that make it all the more easy to carry through with?
It's not like I'm throwing the words adulation, ardency, or inclination around. Words that if I used in sentence would make you question whether or not I had used them properly.
No.
Just the simple four letters of love, and if used in a sentence you have no question of its meaning.
I love ice cream.
I love getting coffee with friends.
I love Libby's dad, and her too.

Here's to using four letter words more often.

Redemption

Decision made..I'm doing another countdown.
14 Reasons To Love.
On this here waste of time and space I am redeeming the holiday that woman hope turns out in a dozen roses and men dread.
Although, I must say that the commercially exposed holiday puts a lot of pressure on people who perhaps may not have a significant other or have a significant other that does not do a top job on doing the day up right. This as a whole bothers me.
Hearts and chocolate aside, I see no reason to dread a day that is really about others or letting other know that they are loved. I have always looked forward to V-day, whether I had flowers delivered to my desk or I drank a glass of wine alone while watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, I love a good reason to talk about love and to show love.
For all ye nay-sayers who claim the day is just another day, I have big news for you, we are by design made for love and relations with others. So jump on the V-day train and think of one good reason to show somebody else that they are loved.

Reason 1. Showing love brings a smile to all parties involved.

Speaking of love, this one loves her colors these days, particularly re, yeyyo, and purpa.
She is loved.

Here's hoping you know that you are loved too.

Error

I don't know what happened to my videos from yesterday, but they don't work now. I deleated them from camera and computer, so they are lost forever. Sad.

However, we are moving forward in our feelings towards the fluffy white stuff. While she preferred not to walk through it she did like being around or near it.

Gestures

My Cousin Jill said I never post videos anymore, so....
Kev's cousin works for this company in England and sends Libs all the cool Sing N Sign stuff that goes with it. The book she is reading(about a cat named Jesse) in the video is her favorite. In fact this is our second copy. The first got lost and was being held together by tape.
Baby signing, if nothing else is a fun activity to do with your baby, however, it has helped us more than once work through the communication barriers that we sometimes have. We have been activly signing since she was about 8 months old. She can sign for many things, but she has some clear favorites as seen below!
I believe in these videos she is wondering "where" is Jesse and informing us that she is "not" there. They are lovingly narrated by myself, Babs, and Granddad.

Comparison

HaHaHaHaHaHa
Libby's Grandma is a funny lady. In my last post I said that Libby looked like Eloise, a book character that I edited into my photo on the left. Her English Grandma suggested she looked like the wacky lady I edited in on the right, a character from an English TV program called "Last of the Summer Wine."
Hahahahahahah
That's my girl...what do you think?

The Sky Is Falling

So maybe the sky isn't falling, but the Little's baby legs certainly are...
In other news, she may be too tall for her denim jumper, but it is a staple of her wardrobe and I may be having hard time letting it go. On the plus side this look kind of makes her look like the country- girl version of Eloise. What do you think?
Here's hoping your stockings aren't bunched around your ankles...
