Love Number 11, 12, 13, and 14
11. Bennett
This guy is awesome. There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby. It is so fun to see his already developing attributes. I can't wait to see how his personality evolves and . I love his sweet lips and his chubby arms that are covered in baby fuzz. I'm so lucky to have this guy in my life from here on out.

This little guy makes me smile. He's hard not to love.
13. Ava Mae
She's crazy. I think that is why we love her so much.
14. Ty
Of course I have to include my main squeeze for my Vday "loves". What's not to love.

Love Number 9
9. Modern Medicine
Not just because I recently had half of my body numbed so that I could enjoy the first moments of my child's life, but more importantly, yes MORE importantly, because of the medicine I got for Bennett. He has not been an extremely happy baby thus far. Out of the blue, he would cry out in pain all the time. I felt like something was wrong (although I don't think I would have if he were my first child). Turns out, he has acid reflux...poor guy. So we got him on his medicine and the RIGHT dose for the large child and voila...a happy baby. He is 6 weeks old and a couple days ago he just laid in his bassinet for about an hour, as happy as can be. This was the first time he has done that (being awake) in his short life. I am so happy he feels better and can show me his cute little smile all the time now.

Love Number 8
8. Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits
It is rediculous that this is making the list but I think about them about as much as I do the others so I guess that is proof. I've never been one for McDonalds. In fact, up until a year or two ago I had eaten there since I partied with Ronald himself at my 4th birthday party. So a few weeks ago I tried to avoid nastiness of their menu and went straight for this, which I was skepticle about because I had once tried a salad shaker there and almost lost my lunch before eating it. Alas, it was wonderful. Every sweet, sugary bite. I'm certain it isn't healthy for you, even if it is fruit and yogurt. Oh well, it is SO good. Go ahead, go get one!

Love Number 7
7. Gift of Gab
So I am a talker. It is in my genes. In fact, Ava's preschool teacher has already confirmed that it is in her genes as well (as if I didn't know that). Isn't it great to have a good long talk with a girlfriend, sister or mom (or husband I guess)? I love it. I love that I can talk to my mom for an hour (at least) and at the end of it Tyler always asks what I talked to her about and I can usually sum it up in one minute by updating him on the basic things going on :). I love that I can spend a night talking with girlfriends and we don't have to resort to any negative talk about others and if by chance it comes up, we take turns straightening out the convo. So this trait may have given me trouble in school, but I am grateful for it now.

Love Number 6
6. Crockpot Liners
Hello, probably the best invention ever. What good is the convenience of a crockpot if you have to spend hours cleaning it after? I love these things!
