• LOVES her dad! I thought that because I was the milkies provider that would automatically up my game and I was wrong. She stares at her papa with great admiration.
• LOVES to eat! She is a wonderful eater and we worry she likes her milkies too much as she has chunked up a bit.
• LOVES her hands. They need to be right by her face. This is why we never got a good ultrasound picture of her. Also loves holding hands.
• Has awful acid reflux! I’m sorry, but this came from me!
• Has a grunt in the mornings. Really doesn’t cry when she’s awake in her bassinet.
• LOVES to sing with grandma
• Looks identical to her dad! Including the left eye crease. (Again, I thought I cooked her for 9 months this would be different?!
• Smiles OFTEN in her sleep.

We love you CoCo Bean! Stop growing so fast.
