sprouting

Over the summer some changes have occurred that make me realize that even though I call her baby she is really not that at all. Opening doors is a piece of cake, the somersault has a new perfect form and the big wheel has never seen such attention. New words are escaping those little lips everyday. Last week was "humus" and "heartburn"....it makes me laugh. She is not only spunky but opinionated now. Especially when it comes to shoes, she wants the blue diamond ones... always. One thing remains constant. When ever it's sleepy time she asks for three things. Ba Ba {bottle} B {blanket} and then she smiles and says "bed" and sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. How can I ever turn that down? It's so easy. I am a sucker. One thing is for sure. That change is going to be a hard one.
