And just like that she is no longer a baby. *sigh*

These last few months we have seen such a transformation from a baby I had to do everything for to a toddler who can keep up with the big kids. No more crib. No more babble. Just pure independence.  She speaks in sentences. Everything is "Me do it!" or "My turn now!"

She loves to sit and read books. But I think her most favorite thing to do is draw. This girl  has some killer fine motor skills!

She gets excited for birthdays. The past few months we have been singing "Happy Birthday" while brushing her teeth and she usually wants to sing it for her cousins or Aunt Molly or even their dog. :)

We splurged for birthday donuts and she had no problem finishing her own one.

She loves Ari and "Line" (Evangeline). They play really well together. The Bigs are learning how to treat her more like a toddler than a baby these days. 

She is in to everything Evangeline is in to. She loves to dance. Loves to dress up. Loves to wear accessories. Loves to love on babies. It will be fun to see her in action with baby brother!

The hat was her own idea. Um....cute?!

She went through a hard phase of terrorizing everyone...but she seems to be out of that now. Trust me when I say it was HARD. She was defiant, would get in to EVERYTHING, would tear down her siblings toys, etc. The list could go on and on...and those days were hard. But we are past that and she is so pleasant. I no longer have to watch her 24/7. She will go play with her siblings and I will find them giggling about the silliest things. As soon as she wakes up in the morning or from naps the first thing she asks about is Ari and "Line".

Going to the playground is less daunting these days. She is very independent and likes to do everything the big kids are doing,

Did I mention she likes to dress up? She will find random things to put on...like that sunglasses case which she uses for a glove.

She is a very good eater. Still doesn't drink milk or eat eggs or many meats, but she does really like pork. She is fairly average for weight (26 lbs bw 25-50%) but is a shorty like her momma (10 percentile). She had to get one shot at her well check-up and she was a trooper. Normally she starts crying the minute she gets sat on the crinkly paper (even if  no shots), but this time there were no tears...not even when she got a shot!! She didn't even want a band-aid. BIG. GIRL.

She was so happy to be able to play out in the snow with the big kids. Look at that smile and all the joy it brings. 

We are so grateful for this little ray of sunshine. We are praising God for her health and we don't ever want to take for grant it what having a healthy child means. We love you baby girl!
