Musings on Milestones

Milestones:

It's amazing to think back to four years ago... we had just found out we were expecting our first child.  I remember our excitement and anticipation as if it was yesterday.  Here we are now with our amazing little girl, Evelyn.  Our three year old (that most times looks and talks like a much older girl).

Mostly, I'm  musing about the fact that during the first year of life, there are so many rapid and amazing transformations/milestones occurring.  Sitting up, rolling over, crawling, walking... not to mention the growth of language and.... growth in general.  I don't always talk about all the milestones we observe anymore because we're so much in the middle of LIFE with Evey!

She is absolutely amazing and fun, constantly exploring, and expanding her world!  In the last three months... she's grown socially and emotionally.  Also, intellectually too.  She counts and identifies letters of the alphabet and is perfecting writing her letters.  She's playful and imaginative - making up songs such as about giraffes and new shoes.  She's much more independent - not always within 10 feet of us.  School is something she's getting excited about!  Her awareness of her place in the world  is amazing.

I'm so proud of the little girl she's become (okay - she says she's still a "little girl" and I say she's becoming such a "big" girl... we'll stick with "she's my little girl")!

Love you Ev!
