I wake in the morning to the heart warming sounds of "Mumumumum".
She asserts her independence and is her own little person, but she still loves kisses and cuddles from Mummy and Daddy.
Reading will occupy her for hours. Monday the Bulldog is a firm favourite.
Dancing is a fabulous way to burn energy (especially to the tunes of Hi5, the Wiggles or the Neighbours theme song)
Dead leaves, sticks and rubbish are treasures that are worthy of being given to Mummy.
She imitates everything we do, monkey-see/monkey-do style. For example - I gave her my deoderant stick to play with as I put my moisturiser on this morning and she pretended to put moisturiser on too by rubbing the deoderant stick (with the lid on) all over her face.
Her laughter is infectious - tickles and cookie monster kisses will always elicit a giggle.
She points at things she wants that out of her reach. Often at things she is not allowed to have. Like chocolate almonds. Strawberries and cream lollies. Or pizza shapes.
She helps herself to stuff in the fridge, when she manages to catch it open. Again, often to things she is not supposed to have. Like salad dressing bottles. Or unwashed fruit.
Water is her first love. She could swim all day, or have a bath all day. Or sit under the shower. Give her a bowl of water and sit her outside and it's instant entertainment.
Eating is also her speciality. She consumes an amazing amount of food for a little person. Loves fruit, meat and carbos (esp pasta and rice). Will eat vegies, but need to mixed it with any of the previously mentioned foods or smothered it in cheese.
She is a little quirky - will randomly do somersaults... sometimes will walk along and then squat for 5 seconds before standing up and continuing on her way.
Elizabeth - The last 18 months have been an amazing journey. You have brought so much joy and love to our lives with your presence... I have never learnt so much, had so many sleepless nights or worried as much as I have over the last 18 months... but I have never loved and laughed as much before either. Every moment has been worth it. Keep on being you... we love you just as you are. xo

Clara,
You write so beautifully. I have a tear in my eye because I know exactly how you feel, my heart has been filled with so much love, beyond description since becoming a Mummy. She is an absolute blessing and your photography is really capturing some wonderful moments. Keep up the good work!
Love,
Maria.
ps I loved your mother's day pressies - very cool. Who would have thought we would get so excited over such things 10 years ago while we carelessly ate lunch and fed the ducks on the banks of the torrens.?
