Growing up

It's true what they say......."Don't blink or they'll be grown before you know it!" I guess I blinked because somewhere in between the two jobs, the youth ministry, college preparations, and keeping up appearances, you grew!!

The baby days were fun, I won't deny that and I kind of miss you being little but then I snap back into reality and I'm appreciating this age. You are so much more fun at one (almost 2) than you were as a little baby. I miss the bottles but we exchanged those for sippy cups, the crawling for walking, the baby talk for a small vocabulary, the crying for....less crying, and we're transitioning from the pampers to the potty.
I have to admit that some part of me would like to freeze time with you at this age so that I can fully enjoy you but I'm so awestruck by every little accomplishment and milestone that I'm also excited to watch you grow.

*just please don't grow too fast! PLEASE*
