today especially, she has been a momma's girl. i've been sick in bed with the stomache flu since 7 last night and she has stayed by my side. it's like she can tell that i'm not feeling good [or maybe i am just joining in on her 24 hour a day naptime]. anyway, she has made me feel better just by being here.
she has such a personality. i love it when she: plays with her food, gets excited when i say we're going to gramma & papa's house, bathes her babies, gets frustrated when zeke picks on her, and when she hates it when i leave her. there's some things that she does that do not make me very happy, but i forget those things when she jumps up on my leg for me to pick her up and gives me a big kiss.
she turns .five. next week. i can hardly believe that its been that many years since mom, dad, and marcie gave her to me for christmas. i had been begging for months and they kept it a huge suprise. i was sitting at the computer looking up yorkies, how to care for them, names, everything when marcie & dad came home with her. marcie had her tucked in her fleece jacket [fleece has been her favorite ever since] and i thought she was a cat. i think i said 'you've got to be kidding me' but then i looked closer and it was a little baby yorkie! then, as i started crying i said 'is it for me?!' (yes) 'is it a girl?!' (yes) it was one of the happiest days of my life. we had so much fun playing with her, seeing her personality, and finding a name: coco sophia chanel. my favorite thing she did back then was when she climbed up my dad's shoulder, then leaned down to his pocket and got his pen out to chew on it. she is still a papa's girl and will choose to snuggle with him over anyone else, but she outgrew that cute habit.
it's hard to believe how much she's changed in five years.
today, i am thankful for coco.
