Why buy toys?

Lulu has two favorite play things. The first is never far from her. It's her tongue...
She can do this...

And this...

And this...
We call it her Lizard Tongue. The rest of us can't do it. We have fat tongues. Like this...

And this...

And this...
So we are very impressed with her mad Lizard Tongue skills...
As evidenced by the fact that I've taken a bajillion pictures of my daughter sticking out her tongue and just posted them as if everyone will hail the Lizard Tongue Genius that she is. Okay, just one more...
Her other favorite toy is never far from me. It's my JunkPosse Ethiopia necklace...
I love that what I wore to "hold her near my heart" while we waited is now something she daily holds in her hand, while I hold her in my arms...
Somebody pinch me.

She is just adorable! Our girls can click their tongue, it sounds really funky (and is usually done when they are ticked off). None of the rest of the famiy can even come close to making the same sound! I see it is the same way with tongues. :)

Too cute!!! Makes you realize that you can buy fancy things in fancy boxes, but the favorite things in life- are simple! Aww.....so beautiful. Jonathan loves the necklace I bought while in Ethiopia. I always tell him the story of how we planned, and waited, and then got to go to pick him up. Awww.....cute!

Love those eyes along with the tongue! My baby (who is 2!) still holds on to my necklace like it's a blankie...
what you said about your necklace and your baby girl is so precious!
