Song of the Day: I Never Told You by Colbie Caillat

I love love love music and some songs I just can't get out of my head. I decided that I will randomly share my "Song of the Day" for all of you to enjoy!

So, the song of today is "I Never Told You" by Colbie Caillat. The reason I like this song doesn't really have anything to do with the words but rather because I just can't get the tune out of my head! Enjoy!

You can see/hear it on You Tube:

I Never Told You

by Colbie Caillat

I miss those blue eyes

How you kissed me at night

I miss the way we see

Like there's no sunrise

Like the taste of your smile

I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you

What I should have said

No I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything

About you

I can't believe I still want you

After all the things we've

Been through

I miss everything about you

Without you

I see your blue eyes

Every time I close mine

You make it hard to see

Where I belong to when I'm not

Around you

It's like I'm gone with me

But I never told you

What I should have said

No I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything

About you

I can't believe I still want

You

After all the things we've

Been through

I miss everything about you

Without you

But I never told you

What I should have said

No I never told you

I just held it in

And now I miss everything

About you

(still you're gone)

Can't believe that I still want

You

After all the things we've

Been through

I miss everything about you

Without you

18 months old...geesh

I can't believe Haven Annabelle is 18 months old today. The time has flown! Adam and I are so blessed to have such a silly, smart, and amazing daughter who keeps us on our toes and warms our hearts daily. We are so in love with her!

Haven is talking so much lately! She says many sentences and surprises us with new "connections" she makes daily. Things like telling her Grammy that "Mommy said so" when she wanted to watch a movie. Or instead of saying "Daddy's home!" when Adam comes home she says, "Daddy's house!" Or telling us "I not a baby!" Haha. She is into saying "too" at the end of all of her sentences. This morning she said, "I want nana and axtwo!" I was like, "What is axtwo?" Finally, I figured out that she was saying, "I want nana and eggs, too!"

She is so silly and loves to dance, attempts to sing, and is very interested in anything I am doing. I have been trying to include her in things like cooking, baking, cleaning, unloading the dishwasher. If only her enthusiasim about helping mommy out would continue into her teenage years! :)

Haven's favorite things to play with are mommy's purses and bags, mommy's scarves, crayons and coloring books, blocks, babies, books, and her grocery cart/play food. She is very imaginitive and I think she is pretty darn smart (I know all parents think that, haha).

People are always commenting on how much older Haven seems to them and how energetic and full of life she is. Although she completely exhausts me at times and is starting to test her limits, I couldn't imagine her or want her any other way. She is so social and loves people, is so sweet and caring, and is so happy and silly.

18 Month Statistics:
Height- 33.6 inches-95th percentile
Weight-27 lb 8 oz-88th percentile
Head Circumference-47.3 cm-72nd percentile

Mommy and Daddy love you very much, Haven Annabelle. Happy 18 Month Birthday!
