When I first held you, you lifted your head off of my shoulder, turned, and looked at me like, "Who's a baby? I'm not, I am a big girl!" And you have been trying to prove that to me ever since. Well, yesterday, as I watched you play in the waves and on the sand, it hit me. You ARE a big girl! How did you grow so fast? You are tall, skinny, long golden curly locks down your back, where did the time go? I can only imagine in my very near future saying the same thing as you hit more major mile stones in your life.
Now that you are 3 1/2 years old, I feel like you have come into your own. Out of any other time in your life, you seem to feel like you have finally reached the age you always knew you were. I am sure that will just be more and more the case as you grow, always striving to be "a big girl." Just remember, no matter how big you get, how many years go by, you will always, always, be my baby girl. I love you with all of my heart, you are my daughter, my friend. You make me laugh and the things you say scare me sometimes, just because they are such grown up things to say! You have amazing talents and I am so excited to see what you do with them. You are compassionate and loving, you LOVE babies and making food. Your smile lights up the room and my entire world. I love you forever and always.
Love, your Mommy Becky
