she really was our "little" girl

i mean, i knew she was little when we first met her....

the red couch with baba, sept 2009

but honestly? until i grab 2 photos taken 9 months apart,
it's hard to appreciate how much she's grown
(except when i'm carrying her upstairs)
:O)



is it just me?
or is my little girl all gone?

nah. she's still my little one.
she just... looks bigger is all.

maybe i should cut back on all that broccoli.
(as she says, it makes her strong- no
reverse psychology needed here)

sigh.

  2. Oh my goodness.....I hardly recognize the China Ellis-size picture!! Until you put them together, so easy to forget what a little munchkin she was. We are so lucky she's "ours."

  11. What a beautiful little girl! we go back and forth between "you're our BIG girl" and "you're our baby!" I think they'll always be our babies!!
    I'm SO jealous that she wants broccoli! My daughter won't touch a vegetable if it's on her plate, unless it's the center of a vegetable dumpling. She will lick those clean, so it's our little secret they they are really vegetables inside!

  15. In the China picture she still looks like a baby. In the current pictures she's definitely a little girl. She'll ALWAYS be your little girl though...

  19. It never stops - one day she'll be as big as mine and you'll still be saying "She's my baby." :)

  21. I've been telling BB she's gigantic since we met. And now she's giganticker. So is your E. It's strange to look back on pictures and see the baby that is no more and wonder what they'll look like in a year and more.

  22. I know, isn't it crazy? I look back at Samantha's pics from 9 mos. ago and even though I thought she was a big girl at the time now I see how much of a baby she really was, even at almost 3.5. Just think 9 mos. from now, we'll both be saying how much our girls have grown again. Happy 9 mos. by the way. She is absolutely stunning. :)

    Hugs,

  24. The little ones grow the fastest, and they do so quietly and in spurts, and when you're not looking, it seems. I have two teenagers to remind me constantly how little she is though, the baby of the family...
