Gemma very, very rarely gives kisses. This is a very sad fact, but it is the way it is. By rarely, I mean she might give either John or I a kiss once a week. Or less. So, the ones we get are so, so precious. Frequently, her actions will start out as a kiss and halfway through it turns into a bite. I'm counting those in the total, even though they aren't exactly loving.
Earlier this week, Gemma gave me a kiss. I was SO happy and cheered loudly. She was delighted by my response, so I asked her for another kiss. She leaned in and I shut my eyes to enjoy a sweet kiss from my sweet girl.
Which is when she whacked me in the face with the baby doll she was holding in her hand.
Not at all the sweet kiss I was anticipating.

Gemma thinks sneezes are hilarious. The louder the better.
If you sneeze, she will gleefully laugh and then try to imitate you with a loud "BAH!"
Typically, she'll look back and you expectantly to see if she can get you to do it again. When you don't, she'll wander away to make trouble elsewhere.

I don't know where the song came from. I sing it to the kids, especially Gemma.
It goes "Ohh baby, oh baby, lalalalalalala, (repeat as necessary, change inflection and rhythm as needed.
On Monday morning, I had been singing this to Gemma as she was eating breakfast.
Monday afternoon found us at Costco shopping for groceries. As I quickly worked my way through the store (being fast is what counts when you have a cart full of kids) when I realized Gemma was singing. It was soft, but definitely singing "ooo ba-be" over and over again.
Sweet, sweet girl.
