Nearly Two

by Zoey @ Good Googs on March 18, 2010

Somebody has a birthday coming up. I can hardly believe that my beautiful little baby is going to be 2. Two.Two whole years. 24 months. I guess I have to stop keeping track of her age in months now.

It’s hard to believe that the walking and talking toddler was once this tiny little baby:

It’s hard to believe that the little person who doesn’t ever actually walk but runs everywhere, once upon couldn’t get around on her own. That even once she had learned how to roll on to her stomach, she used to cry because she couldn’t roll back on her own.

It’s hard to imagine that the restless toddler who tosses and turns, kicks the wall and generally likes to sleep sideways as a baby never moved a muscle in her sleep. But it doesn’t surprise me that she liked to be swaddled for a long time, given the current situation with her flailing limbs.

It’s hard to even remember that her first tentative baby laughs were cheeky little giggles and not the full-body belly laughs that double her over.

It’s hard to accept that she’s not a baby anymore.

    I’m not looking forward my little guy not being a baby any more. He already seems so grown up.

    You’ve done a terrific job in raising such a strong, happy child.

      Thanks Treacy. It seems like when I look at Riley now, she’s only a couple of steps away from going to school even though that’s two years away. But the first two went so fast!
