this is my ada.

lovely and amazing.

ada came out kicking and screaming

and didn't stop until she was eighteen months.

she slept through the night for the FIRST time

when she was two.

she hears every word i say

even when she is fully engaged

with polly pocket

and i am three rooms away on the phone.

she memorizes books and

songs and

nursery rhymes for a hobby.

she is incredibly imaginitive.

she loves-

to sing realllllly loud

to read books

to paint

to snuggle

to play dress up

to eat lollipops

she is the messiest and slowest eater you have ever seen.

she hates baked goods except chocolate chip cookies and cupcake frosting.

she is incredibly loving

and she is mine, all mine.
