24 things I've learned about my daughter

Since tomorrow morning it will have been a week since "gotcha day," I thought I would post a few of the things I have learned about Kate since we met...

1. She is absolutely perfect.
2. She loves to be carried by her Baba.
3. She could eat bananas and shrimp (which she needs me to peel and de-head) non-stop.
4. She has a fascination for electronics... constantly playing with the phone, the cameras, the tv remote, and any other buttons and knobs she can get her hands on.
5. She likes to carry things around, either her toothbrush or comb (though she doesn't actually like to use them) or she puts things in bags and carries them around.
6. Speaking of toothbrushes, she doesn't like anyone messing with her lip or her mouth (which makes it hard to brush teeth).
7. She likes the color pink and looks adorable in tights.
8. She needs a nap in the afternoon and wakes up in a good mood.
9. She feels the need to hold the water bottle lids, and occasionally comes along and grabs open containers and dumps them out.
10. She loves peek-a-boo, kissing noises, is ticklish, and has a hilarious low-toned belly laugh when she gets going.
11. She slaps her head after she has bumped it on something.
12. She's got these long, slender fingers and toes (and, when I put her in bed, she likes it when I kiss her feet).
13. She poops in twos.
14. She usually calms down when she is sung to.
15. She uses her head to block food she doesn't want to eat (it looks like she's bowing).
16. She cries all throughout bath time.
17. She thinks her Mommy is hilarious and thinks it's funny when she makes kissing noises.
18. She loves attention from Dai Ge Ben and Er Ge Will.
19. She seems to think sunglasses are great for leaving fingerprints.
20. She is hot-natured and sweaty.
21. Though we think she might have an ear ache now, she is generally healthy and has been well-taken care of (and takes medicine pretty well).
22. She doesn't drink from a bottle, straw or cup, only with a spoon (because of the cleft in her palate).
23. She has learned to appreciate chocolate ice cream.
24. She is more wonderful than I deserve!!!
