Annie

Annie and I are sipping tea in this early morning {still} dark. She keeps chirping away, describing everything that she's doing or thinking. She has officially reached the age she has a daily word count quota to fulfill and she's a constant stream of words. I'm so glad I have girls :)
Her newest and apparent favorite phrase is, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed," from the book about the five little monkeys which sounds like, "No mo monkeys jump n bed." She must have repeated that phrase about 50 times today and every time Chloe and I would look at each other and smile. Then Chloe would say, "Isn't that cute, mom?"

It sure is.



In the last six weeks, she has gotten six more teeth. The shape of her face is less round and squishy and with the approach of the back molars is changing to a more narrow shape. Some days I can't get over how much she looks like her daddy.

It's true, my baby is no longer a baby. She's a toddler.



It's bittersweet watching your babies grow up. And it goes so fast.
