Such a big girl!

I had a few eye opening experiences with Penny yesterday.

I realized what a "little person" she's becoming. She's not a

baby anymore. It almost broke my heart, for the first time

since I got pregnant I decided that maybe it wasn't too soon.

First, she's be getting so independant lately. She always has

had a mind of her own but she is helpful lately. She gets her

balnket and glow worm and goes to her room when she's tired

or when I tell her "night, night". Yesterday she got up from

nap and when I put her down she signed "drink" I told her

that her sippy was in the fridge and to my suprise she walked

over to the fridge, opened and got her sippy out. Then later

that afternoon her grandma came to take her for a little walk.

As she was leaving I said "come give me a kiss and tell me bye."

She actually walked back inside the house, came over gave me

a kiss and said "bye ma". I completely lost it after the door closed.

When did she get so big? She plays by herself, talks on the phone,

rocks her baby doll and 'reads' books. I'm so proud of her cause

she learns so much, so fast. It also scares me because I know I

haven't purposely taught her these things but she has learned

them anyway. She's pick up alot of things that I didn't think she

would..... it makes me alot more aware of what I'm doing.

Anyway, she never ceases to amaze me.
