Sometimes she'll say or do something that makes me realize how much she's grown and changed in the last 23 months. It's always simple things, like saying "wow, so windy" when the wind whips her hair.
And sometimes, I run across an old photo and I can hardly believe the changes. Here's a photo that is almost precisely 12 months old - from a birthday party we went to in July:
Then fast forward to this year, at her boyfriend Caleb's second birthday party!:
Last year she was just starting to walk.
This year, she's running like a fiend and stuffing her face with cake. And occasionally holding hands with her boyfriend. No photos of that, alas - it was too fleeting for me to capture with my camera. But I'll always remember it. I think it was the first time I realized that someday, she's going to grow up and maybe even have her own family.
