Bye Bye Baby

This will be a quick post - But I can't help but say that my baby girl isn't much of a baby any more! 

There have been a few people who've made comments about how big shes getting - I like to hear that - but I get a little sad b/c I know how true what they are saying is! 

As she plays I really see it, her actions are those of a 'big' girl. Her words are those of one who is 21mo old she is 21mo old!

I guess its only natural that she grows and we welcome the next little baby into our family, but its sad for me sometimes - ok, maybe bitter-sweet is a better word for it - to watch and see how big she is, and continues to get. 

This morning she was playing and its how she acts, how she plays, how she looks that screams 

'I'M NOT A BABY ANYMORE!'

even if she doesn't know thats what shes saying. Mommy knows thats the case. 

We were playing yesterday and I just thought

'I love being a mom, being @ home to play and watch her grow'

I'm not real sure how I'm going to do it w/ 2 so close in age, but I was thinking I can do it! I can be a great mommy to two little girls - and I can enjoy all the time we get to spend together, and I can make time to be w/ each one on one - right? 

I can - just like Kaia can, and will, continue to grow and be my big girl - I can be a great mom to two and enjoy watching Kaia change into a new role in her life - a BIG sister
