Growing up so Fast!

Time flies so fast. I really never thought it would. When I was young the days would often crawl by, Sundays especially. Now it's October and my daughter is almost 2 1/2. It may not seem like much, but when she was asleep on my chest last night all I could think was how LONG she was. She was only 17" long when she was born and when she curled her feet under her she was just about this big. :) She had her head on my upper chest and her feet were touching my knees. Her cold, bare feet, mind you. IN the middle of the night....in her bed.... You get the picture. But it was love all the way. I went in her room the other night to check on her and thought to myself, "Whose child are you in Jaida's bed? You're so tall! And such a little girl. No longer that tipsy toddler I held hands with as you walked."
My mom said it would go by fast and to be sure and love every minute of it. I'm trying. I remind myself when I want to get angry at the spilled beans all over my carpet (dry beans thank goodness) that she is only two and one day I will miss the beans on the floor. I think I already do.
