You are walking and talking. It all happened all at once. It took me by surprise how overnight you were no longer my little baby, but are toddler. My dad, your Grandpa Dave, used to say to me that he wanted to put a brick on my head to keep me from growing. Now I understand. I just want you to stay little and small forever. Even though your babyhood is coming to a close, there is this new and exciting phase that we are entering in together. You can tell me what you want with a "That!" command and you can walk to where you want to go rather than crawl.
Yesterday we went to the park and you held my hand and walked all over the place. You wanted to be near the big kids playing on the toys. Around and around we strolled and you had a blast! It wasn't that long ago that we were sitting at that same park and you just would stare at the kids on the toys not sure how to get over there. Yesterday you just stood up and toddled after them. Such a big girl with such a big sense of purpose. I can't wait to see what you do next because once you learn something you go crazy with it!
I look back on everything you have accomplished this first year and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. You can walk, talk, and show your little personality. It is crazy that at this time last year I was finishing up your nursury and anxiously waiting for you to come into my life. Now you are here and I'm chasing you all over the nursury!
I am so proud of all you have done and all you have learned. I still wish I could put a brick on your head though, or at least just slow down time a little.
Love you so much my little bean,
Mommy
