Thought it might be nice for us to share why our kiddies are special.
Okay well McKayla surprises me each and every day. Really cant believe she is my kiddy. She loves to share with others. (most of the time) She loves to cuddle and to give hugs and kisses to everyone. Can be really cheeky by coming up sometimes and then turning her head at the last moment. Since birth she didnt like it when other kids cry and will try and comfort them. She hates it when parents on the tv shout at their kids and will sometimes start crying as well. Now at least she just runs to me for a hug if something upsets her (like the supernanny show) She loves babies and will try and take care of them. Loves to play with older kids and sometimes I can see she gets upset if they dont pay attention to her. (real sensitive soul) She just loves animals. I really do love this girl quite a lot. So please everyone share how special your kiddies all are. Cant wait to read it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I still watch my child sleep. She look so innocent and just like a little angel. (which she normally is 99% of the time) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ella has so much energy (as people who know her will agree). She loves animals too, and has always played with them instead of dolls. She absolutely loves real animals and continuously asks me if we can get a dog 
Sometimes I feel drained because Ella has so much energy, but other times I'll look at her and wonder how I came to have such an amazing child. I know that she is going to do something productive and already at 3 she holds most of the skills needed to be a great leader. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love his long eye lashes, the way he pulls all the facial expressions he can at one time, the way his eyes nearly pop out of his head when we burp him, the way he smiles and laughs at me, the big sigh he lets out before going to sleep, and pretty much everything he does!!!
They are so cute to watch when they are sleeping, we have some really great footage of him smiling to himself in his sleep, was probably dreaming about eating. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=1738084 - Handmade Jewellery -------------

McKayla sounds a lot like Hannah - she adores babies and playing with older kids too. I love her lovely kisses and cuddles, especially in the mornings. I love how much energy she has, and she amazes me every day with the things she has learnt to do (like counting, words, alphabet etc).
She has been a real toddler lately so I needed to sit and think about the lovely things she does too. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

at the moment I adore Jake's imagination. He keeps whispering "mummy, be quiet, there's a bear/lion/tiger outside. we say ":go away bear/lion/tiger. okay?"
and we yell "go away bear" and I ask "did it work" and he usually will say "no mama, he didn't go to work, he go to sleep now. sssh" today we went to the esplanade where we found a "jungle" and some elephants. It was really cool I also love his fearlessness. He climbs the highest slides (the ones with the "not suitable for children under 7), and slides down, no fear. he desperately wants to go on the flying fox by himself. I have always been scared of that kinda thing and it impresses me how he isn't, As for Taine, my giggly boy. i love how he wakes up around 9 and snuggles into bed with me. i don't like how Lewis has to then sleep in his bed, but he's only little for so long. I love how he grabs my arm and wraps it around him. When he's awake, i love how he looks at things, with such fascination. he went to the spouting today and was playing in the water. He kept looking at his hands and the water. i love how he smiles and grins,(and then bites, but i don't love that as much). i love how he is dancing to everything, including the news theme songs. |

I love the way Brenna comes to find me when I hide and she gets so excited to have found me.
She waves at all the animals and loves touching (poking) them. She loves to share her food and has just started (kind-of) having cuddles -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

I love how Caprece is always so smiley and always smiles at Jack. I love how she puts her wee fists when she is feeding.
I love how when Jack needs a cuddles he still puts his fists the same way as he did when he was a tiny bubba. I love how he sits there and talks to Caprece in some crazy language and gives her kisses. I love how smart he is and how good he is at playing with balls. I love how he shows off around new people. |

While it drives me absolutely bananas hearing "No, I do it by myself" all day, everyday... I do love that Hannah is so independent. She's so good at figuring out how to do things by herself and loves being capable.
Ahhh, it's so nice to write about this kind of stuff when she's asleep and I'm no longer tearing my hair out.

One thing I really love about my two, is how much they love each other. Charly will turn herself upside down inside out to find Jake in the room and smile at him, and laugh like nothing else. He will go into her room and climb into her cot and cuddle and kiss her, and when she is on the floor playing he will bring her toys and say "alright, bubba?" ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

I love the way Elle plays "boof", the way she has mini 2 second cuddles, the expression of joy on her face when she walks across the room, the way she wrinkles her little button nose when she smiles, the way she holds tightly to my sleeve when we are out and the cute way she says "whaaas that" about everything! I also love the way she says "whaaas that" while looking me in the eye and pointing in opposite directions with both hands ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

what makes her special = well she thinks she is and so I agree with her!!!
but have to say her ability to catch someones eye and make them smile! GO on I dare anyone to resist smiling when Miss Gabriella catches their eye and smiles at them in her special way....once youve been smiled at by her you are a gonner......

Can't even begin to put into words.. really
How beautiful Paris is, personality wise and looks too (I sometimes look at her and think "where on earth did those gorgeous genes come from?"), She is such a mummy, looks out for her little sister, (sometimes a bit bossy), plays the funniest games, does quirky little things that make you crack up, I love the way she gets grumpy at you when you laugh at something that apparently "is not funny!", I love how wise she is and how she is so darn stubborn she doesn't give up until she gets something right. I secretly love how much of a perfectionist she is too.. how many 20mth olds would get stroppy with their dolls house because the people don't sit down and "you're not allowed to stand on chairs!!" Or because the blanket wasn't exactly square and flat on the dolly. Ayja, I love her smile, her smile so big that it squeezes her eyes into little slits you can hardly see. I love the way she wraps her arms around us as says "I'm giving you koala cuddles mummy", The way she does things for herself, the way she's learning to assert her independance from paris in *mostly* good constructive ways, and tell her when she wants to do things her way during play. I love how clever she is, and how clearly she speaks. I think most of all i love the way how they both still smell like my tiny wee bubs i used to snuggle into my shoulder as they fell asleep (could be due to johnsons baby powder, lol), and how when i go to tuck them into bed before i go to sleep at night Ayja will always roll over, cuddle down into her bed and say "I Lub you mum" in her sleep. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I know I haven't had my bubs yet but I think the fact that this child is the first family member I have ever had that shares the same 'genes' and 'blood' as me makes it very special. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

What makes my daughter special? man where to start? since the day she was born ive thought she was the coolest most beautiful thing ive seen, and that hasnt changed.
I look at her sometimes and think "gosh your pretty !, and youre getting prettier as you grow older" such beautiful brown eyes, I love how she can talk so much,and started talking at an early age, but still says things like "i hurted my leg". I love how confident she is, shes the friendliest girl i know, (tho for her safety im trying to get her to be a bit more wary of people she doesnt know) i love how she makes up songs and dances for people and can actually sing in tune. I love how compassionate she is to other people , and how she will say nice things to people eg "you look really beautiful today emma " without being prompted, I love how when shes in a room she really does shine (and people i dont even know have commented on that, not just me lol) I love how one minute shes a big grown up girl, and the next shes just a little girl who needs a hug from her mum. I love her cos shes her, my daughter, and shes a part of me, and shes the best thing i ever did,and id make all my mistakes ten times over, if it meant the reward was my daughter each time.

I love that Maya is such a sensitive soul, she always worries about other people's feelings and her own feelings bruise so easily. I love that she is so incredibly bright and inquisitive and asks a million questions about everything. I love that I look in her eyes and see how much she loves and trusts me, and that I've discovered how much it is possible to truly love another human being to the ends of the earth, and it terrifies me.
I love that Sienna is smiley and impish, the way she snuggles in and says "ahhh" when she gives you cuddles, the totally unique way she bottom shuffles around, the way she turns her lip and sounds like a car revving when she cries. I love that Mercedes is intense and stroppy and boisterous but clingy and needy at the same time. The cheeky face she gives me when she knows she's doing something naughty, and her desperate urge to destroy anything she can get her hands on. And I love that even tho the three of them look so alike, they are completely different, three unique, special girls and I am lucky to have been chosen to share their lives. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I love the way that Sam has a special smile for her Daddy She wrinkles up her nose and gives him the biggest grins!
I love that when she is on the change table and the second her nappy is off her legs fling themselves over her head like they have elastic in them - my little rudey. She has always been refered to as Mummies little naked baby cause she loves to be naked with her feet in her mouth
I love the way she tells me off when she doesn't like what I am doing, and the way she snuggles into my shoulder when she is tired. I especially love the little smiles she has in her sleep 
Everyday I look at her and realise that I am the luckiest person in the world to have had my biggest dream come true and be holding it in my arms. I could go on all day....'sigh' I her so much! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
