It's The Little Things...

We love our babies so much! Everything they do, even including working hard to dirty their diapers, is precious to us! There are also a bunch of small things they do regularly that just melt our hearts. I am sure as they age, the tiny things we appreciate will change, but these are some of the current ones:

• When drinking from their bottle, they wiggle their little feet. Sometimes it will just be the toes, sometimes they will swing their whole foot from the ankle.
• Also when feeding, they will grab either your finger or the diaper cloth we use as a bib. They will hold on tight, so much so that their little finger tips will turn white.
• They become infatuated with certain objects. Their first "best friend" was the lamp in our living room. Once morning, Avery made the biggest smiles as soon as we turned the lamp on. Of late, they both love (but Alina more so) their Ugly Dolls we have on the changing table. Mimi bought some key chain sized ones that we hang on their play mats and car seats.
• When they are very happy, they will flail their legs at a frantic pace.
  
• Since it is still before the girls know that they have control over their hands, I love how they will inadvertently grab hold of Ches' beard. He is not as big of a fan of this as I am. But now we are even since I got my hair cut apparently to the perfect level for the girls to grasp.
• Sometimes when they are really tired, they will do a giant yawn which will somehow turn into a giant cry at the end before they can even close their mouths.
  
• When they have had enough to eat, they will let you know in a number of ways. They will either shut their lips so tight you cannot fit the bottle back in, accept the bottle at first they shake their head from side to side refusing to latch on, or lift a hand then bring it down with force flinging the bottle away from their mouth. It will always end with a satiated face with milk smeared all over their chins.
• They have no problem letting you clean out their eye goobers and picking the boogers out their noses. Chesley feels triumphant every time he pulls out a giant boogie.
• How they turn their face really red when working hard on a poo poo.
  
• They stretch their arms up above their heads and curl their legs into their body when you pick them up from a good sleep.
• And countless more things I could not happen to think of in the time it took to write this post.
