Milestone

My beautiful daughter,

Today, I caught you standing up in your crib for the first time.  You were so proud of yourself!  You did the adorable little shaky-rocky dance you do so well, and absolutely beamed up at me. 

I cried.

I couldn't help it!  You are growing up so fast, it is just incredible to your daddy and me how fast time suddenly seems to be going.  You just keep forging ahead - independent, brave, and strong - while I selfishly long for time to slow down so you can stay my little pumpkin forever. 

Every day you amaze me a little more. 

I love you forever, and I am so proud of you big girl!

Mommy
