growing girl

in the last 3 weeks or so miss adelyn has just grown so much. not only has she hit some developmental milestones, but so much personality is coming out...she's really become quite the comedian and the [undoubtedly inherited] girlie fiestiness is shining through - you go girl!

and today, after her positively worst night in her 5+ months (which she truly hasn't even had one, but given our day yesterday it was very appropriate), her first tooth came through....bottom right. yay.
it's just all going so fast. i want it to slow down. i of course LOVE seeing her grow. i'm just struggling to grasp how fast she's growing and what a little person she's becoming.

having walked this path before doesn't take anything away. it's just as exciting. every.little.thing.

i love watching you grow sweet adelyn.

"It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself." ~Joyce Maynard
