What We Miss About Zizi

This is a post I hope to repeat each time we have a child in our home. We've realized lately how much we miss that sweet girl. This way, we'll record some of those fun memories we'd like to hang onto.

• The way she crinkled her nose just to make everyone laugh.
• Her smacking.
• The sight of her in a shower cap when she ate in her high chair.
• Her obsession with peas.
• The way she waved both of her arms and breathed really fast whenever she got excited.
• Patty cake! (Throw it in the pan!)
• Her love for being held upside down.
• Watching her reach her tiny hand out to Peanut.
• Cuddling with her when she got scared of Peanut's bark.
• When she slept in my arms.
• Her huge smile when she woke up rested.
• The way she slept with her bottom sticking up in the air.
• Teaching her to find her "shake, shake, shake!"
• Her love for the wooden rings she carried everywhere with her.
• Getting her dressed in her cozy pajamas, snuggling, and feeding her her bottle before bed.
• Celebrating with her when she stood on her own for a few seconds.
• Babbling.
• Her sweet face as she reached for me to pick her up.
• Watching her intentionally drop food for Peanut from her high chair.
• Her pure bliss when she was in her Johnny Jump-Up.
• Her great laugh when we sang "I like to eat, eat, eat, eeples and beneenees."

We love you, girlfriend, and there's a hole around here since you left!
