All That Glitters

My baby girl is growing up so fast!  It seems like she does something new every day.  Her newest accomplishment is using her hands to reach for things.  She reaches for her brother and often ends up swatting him in the face.  He's learning not to take it personally.  :)  She also loves and I mean LOVES shiny things.  A shiny silver Diet Coke can is enough to stop any fussiness.  Her reaction to seeing my watch is hilarious.  Her eyes get wide, she makes a perfect circle with her lips, and then uses every ounce of strength and concentration she can muster in order to lay her tiny hands on it.  Yesterday, she noticed my ring for the first time.  She was mesmerized!  Once Brian saw how taken she was with it he was reminded what a long road he has ahead of himself; he now has two girls to provide with shiny sparkly things!  As much as he is dreading the day he hears the words, "Daddy, I've met a boy..." today, he was comforted by the fact that it will be a long time before any boy will be able to show her something small and shiny and evoke the same reaction.
