Naomi, you are a bright light in our lives! You love to dance with Zeke, play games with Levi, and play Barbies with Zoe. You help me bake and cook and enjoy going to Hy-Vee with Daddy so you can get the 25 cent gumball. You had only one front tooth for over 6 months and I was starting to get worried about it, and then just in the past few weeks all the missing ones, including that front one, have popped through -- woohoo! Some of your favorite foods are chips, chicken and dumplings (which we ate for your birthday party dinner), pad thai (from Tasty Thai), and breakfast sausages dipped into the yolks of fried eggs. You have really expanded your diet this past year and are eating a greater variety of veggies and foods. You love your Dozen a Day warm-ups for piano and take great pride in practicing them daily and then teaching them to your siblings if they're struggling with one of the exercises. You continue to love babies and I hear you say "Awwww!" whenever a little baby looks at you or is nearby. I look forward to the year ahead with you and can't wait to see all the ways you change and grow (and the things that stay the same)! Love, Mommy
