She's kinda small for her age, so even though shes in the "toddler" phase, I never really felt like it because she was still so tiny. I mean, shes' almost 17 months old and still wears 12 month clothes! Now all of the sudden I look at her and wonder when it happened. It's almost like when you're pregnant...one day your not showing, the next you can button your pants. And then to top it off, me and Candice decided to try out pigtails on her Friday night. OMG... It was so dang precious! And as excited as I was to finally feel like she was a "little girl," I was so sad at the same time. I realized that I'm never gonna get those baby days back, and quite frankly, I got a little depressed. All those times I would say that I couldn't wait for her to sit up on her own, crawl, walk, talk, "wear pigtails," take dance classes, ride a bike, play with baby dolls...I can now say that I totally understand what my dad meant when he said "don't wish her life away." And as much as I'm looking forward to the memories to come, and the milestones she'll meet along the way, I wish I would've had that time just a little bit longer...and cherished those moments just a little bit more.
