14 months

I have had to force myself to come to terms with the fact that my little girl is no longer my little tiny baby, ok so she was never very tiny to begin with, but she was still our little baby, I think I have been in denial that she is growing up so quickly. I was writing something on the calender today and it occurred to me that today is the 7th, which means that my baby is 14 months old today. Seriously?? I cannot believe it, how did she get so big so fast? While I am having a hard time with the fact that she is not my little baby anymore, and she doesn't even need me to feed her anymore, she is VERY independent lately, I am loving watching her little personality come out more and more everyday. She is such a happy little girl, except when she doesn't get her own way, then she turns into an alien princess until she either gets her own way, or she forgets what she wanted in the first place.

She is learning to say several things now, her new favorite word is "shoes" which sounds more like oos, she has a bit of a shoe fetish, which of course makes me SO proud! Whenever you get her dressed, whether or not she really needs her shoes on, she will point at them and say shoes until she has them on her feet. This morning, as soon as she spotted her shoes, she started pointing at them and she wanted them on her feet NOW even though she was still in her jammies.

When she was sitting in her highchair eating breakfast this morning, she looked at me and put out her hands and said "es dada" (where's daddy) she kept saying this over and over while shoving her bananas in her mouth at a rapid rate.

While I was working out this morning I had the music on and she was dancing the whole time, it was hilarious and her big brother looked at her and said "awww sis, you are just so cute!" She just looked at him and grinned, and then started dancing again. What did we ever do without our princess?

Where has the time gone...I swear we were both just pregnant and now they are both almost a year and a half...I don't even remember life without them!

I hope I can be as good and as cute and as grateful of a mom as you are when I grow up.
