She is not a baby at all. I was dressing her and have noticed how much she has slimmed down. She has little girl features now. She even talks more grown up and says the FUNNIEST things! Like telling me “Hold on a moment” when she needs to get something while we play.

I love to hear her make up her little songs about chickens and cows. But the best has to be when she says she wants to make up her disco songs. She gets up and mumbles words to her own music and beat….but always shakes her little hips from side to side. That little body dancing around the room is just so adorable.

I will say that she has also grown up so much in the maturity department too. I can’t even really remember the last temper tantrum she has thrown nor even when we had to put her into time out. Now, we just go right to losing TV or a toy when she does something mean to her brother…..and that has done the trick. Now, she may get upset with something, but she just cries and doesn’t throw the tantrum or pull “drama queen” on me. It certainly has made our home much more peaceful and I can feel it too. I do not feel as angry or on edge all of the time.

Now, I realize that having 3 kids will be OK……since I don’t have to deal with her daily meltdowns.

Garrett also is getting to be such a big boy. We did have to get shots yesterday at the doctor and that always breaks my heart. But he is babbling even more, cruising more and becoming more snuggly with each passing day. I know that soon enough he will be talking and walking. And while I am anxious to witness those major milestones, I don’t want him to grow up too fast.
