She just makes me laugh

I took the kids to the library this morning to return Emerson's books and pick some new ones. So just a few minutes ago I walked into the living room to find her sitting on the couch looking at a book, and she was licking her pointer finger before turning each page. I laughed out loud! I just had to go over and give her big squeeze, to which she responded with a look that said, 'Get off me, I'm trying to read.'

This morning at breakfast she looked at me and said, through a mouthful of cheesy scrambled eggs, "I luh you, Mommy." Melted my heart! Of course, Daddy was the first to get this phrase unprompted, but I will settle for seconds on this one.
