Piper you are 18 months old. You have become such a unique little girl. You have a very expressive face. I am the expert on what each of your faces mean. Except your scrunchy face. One day Sary asked me "What does that face mean?" I couldn't tell her I knew it meant you had strong feelings but were you: frustrated, determined or concentrating? I am glad Maria captured your scrunchy face in your portrait.
Everyone says you look just like Sary. You two do look a lot alike but you are such a wild child you are uniquely different from your sister. I cannot turn my back without you climbing the stairs behind me. I always thought toilet latches were silly until you came into my life, now all toilet-seats are down and bathroom doors are closed. As daring as you can be, you still get overwhelmed in crowds. Like the day in the picture the kids were running in and out of the fountain at Fairfax corner and you were happy to watch from your stroller.
Even though you are not a big fan of crowds, you are Sary's #1 fan. If she is laughing in another -you laugh. If she makes a funny face you think it is hysterical. If she takes a toy you want from you though you do not take it lying down. You make your scrunchy face and reach over and grab a handful of her hair. You don't let go until she screeches if she laughs at you, you pull harder. But if Sary is throwing a fit and crying you will cry too.
Piper you are a strong, determined, little girl and I am so excited to learn more about who you are as you grow and learn to express yourself with words and not just faces and hair pulls. At the same time I want to hold you forever as my baby girl and smell the back of your little neck and kiss your sweet little feet.
