The Little Things She Does
… scrunches her face with pursed lips while laughing through her nose at everything.
… uses her forehead to press the buttons on her toys.
… responds with shrieks of delight at the sight of outstretched arms ready to lift.
… grins a wide, toothless smile each time she sees me again.
… spits out food she doesn’t really like.
… turns the pages of books, though not necessarily in the right direction.
… poses for photographs and anticipates the flash.
… holds onto the handlebars of the grocery cart.
… points by turning her whole body and slapping her hands in the direction..
… greets me in the morning, her back arched in her crib to watch me arrive.
