TODAY: favourite things

Today, right here and now, these are a few of my favourite things about Josephine. The girl that steals our hearts with her funny ways. Because I don't want to forget the little things.

I love that she thinks the hoover is a dog. I think it's because of the noise it makes when I'm using it. Every time she sees it she happily proclaims 'dog!' and pets the handle. Who knew a hoover could bring so much delight. 

I love that every time every single time, she eats cous cous she sneezes and it goes everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. And even more, I love that she then proceeds to pick up each tiny grain and eat it. No morsel wasted when it comes to food, just like her parents.

I love that when she hears the front door to our building shut she looks towards the door hoping it means Daddy's home. She adores her Papa and he adores her.

I love that at some point, most afternoons, you'll find Phiney and I lying on our bed, staring out of the window at the trees. Or having cuddles and kisses, or reading a book, or having a nap. I hope those quiet, simple times together happen for years to come.

I love the fact that when she was eating her dinner a couple of nights ago she farted then laughed. Then I laughed and she laughed some more. I can't help it people, farts are funny.

And I love this goofy face. Because how could you not.

  6. Cute!!! Abi hears my husband foot steps down the hall when he comes home... Most times she's in the bath... She always stops, waits and as his head pops around the corner a big grin comes across her face! "dad, dad, dad'!"

  8. She is certainly a little treasure and so glad to hear you're lapping her up. I can see a good number of teeth happening in these pics - should be a big toothy grin before you know it! xx
