Such A Big Girl!

So yesterday was amazing and weird. Gweny finally outgrew her rearfacing car seat. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it just seems like all of a sudden she's growing up. It was fun to look in the rear veiw mirror and see her face instead of the top of a car seat. Other parents warn me that pretty soon she'll be driving and dating...at the rate she's going I think they are right.

It's been so fun to watch her grow! Each new mile stone is such an event for us. When she started to say words...well, at least try to say them, we were enthralled. Then when she started to sign it was enough to make us squeal with job. Now she mimics us and so we are constantly trying to introduce new things for her to say and mimic. She's also trying to walk. She's standing on her own and will throw herself into our arms. It's comforting to know just how much she trusts us.

Being a parent is such a huge responsibility but I would NEVER trade it. She fills us with joy beyond measure. What a blessing to have her, and all her little accomplishments, in our life.
