liza lu

ten months -
ten times the fire
ten times the tantrums
ten times the ferocity
ten times the opinions
and ten times the love.

this girl can't get enough of her mommy's lap to sit on or her shoulder to lay on; she's not going anywhere anytime soon. but she also can't get moving often enough and fiercely complains when i move her toward the car seat, stroller or crib. she is so full of humor and personality, it's all i can do but burst with explanation of her intricate workings.
and so we remain, overwhelmed by her cheeks and her vibrance which roll over us like a ton of bricks.

Liza Lu

sea blue eyes and whisps so wild
cherry lips spread wide, my bright child
round and soft you snuggle in
hearts melting under my chin

ooh ooh ooh, my Liza Lu
love is all i have for you
from above you came to lay
and heaven is not far away

laughing all the sadness gone
from my arms don't wander long
tell me your fears
i'll wipe all tears
softly

ooh ooh ooh, my Liza Lu
love is all i have for you
from above you came to lay
and heaven is here
to stay
