How quickly time goes by

Looking back on Thing 1's picture it amazes me how much she has changed. I know she still basically looks the same only older, but it amazes me that my baby girl is all grown up.

Here we are in Reno just before she turned one. She had her first taste of watermelon and as you can see from the picture above she loved the juice and put her face in the bowl to drink it up. It made quite the mess but she loved it.

Thing 1's favorite thing to do- talk on my cell phone. She will talk and talk and talk. She plays so hard and then just like that she is asleep. She thought it was pretty cool to wear my shoes. She still does too. It makes me a little nervous when she pulls out my four inch heels and clomps around in them though.

You can see her scar really well here, it was still pretty new. this is why she has bangs now. Poor little girl. It happened when she and her daddy were playing and she fell and hit her little head on our tv stand's corner. we didn't send out Christmas pictures that year either because it happened just before I was going to have them taken and the fall gave her two big black eyes. She looked like we beat her. It made your heart melt for her.

This face is typical Thing 1-  "what do you think you are doing?" She is such a loving little girl but it really does have to be on her terms. She is most often leary of what we do at first.

This was in Seattle, just before her second birth day. I can't believe we are already coming up on her 4th birthday in just a few more months.
