a few of my favourite things

I love everything about newborns:

• the way they curl up if you hold them under the arms
• the way they smell
• their slightly dusky extremities
• the way they grunt and squeak
• the way they mold into you
• the way they sleep through anything
• their yawns
• their perfect little cheeks
• their perfect little hands and feet
• their itty bitty bottoms

These are a few of my favourite things about all newborns, but Jordyn has a couple other things I adore -- things not every baby has. 

First, her bum chin. Cuuuuuttteeeee! I love love love it! 

And second, her furrowed brow. It's not actually furrowed... she just has a chubby forehead, I guess. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

Yup, those are a few of my favourite things about my newest niece, though I am sure I will come to love many more. As my sister Lindsey put it, I can't wait to show her how loved she is. 

Hope you're still lingering in the lovely Christmas season. I am trying to, but it is a little difficult when you are working every day.
