when did this happen?

Sometime between having 2 babies in a year and now, my first baby has grown up! I'm not sure when it happened, but it makes me very sad.  She no longer needs my help doing a lot of things, which is a good thing I know, but it still is bittersweet. 

Here she is doing a "big girl" puzzle with pieces that do not go on a board. Oh yeah, big time stuff and she does it ALL BY HERSELF! Oh my! She is such a smart and loving girl. I thank God everyday that He chose me to be her mom. I think I'm the luckiest mom in the world to be blessed with her and hope her little brother and sister turn out as good as she has been!

Some things she does right now that makes her sound so much older than just 4 (and barely a month):
She calls Matt "dad" a lot now and me "mom". I correct her and make her say mommy or momma still, but I know it's just a matter of time before I'm mom all the time. Boo
She can get in the fridge and get her own juice or snack if it's in there. (already cut up, but still....)
She comforts Emmersyn when she cries (usually it is because of something Teagan has done, but again, sweet gesture). She also Emmersyn "Em" a lot.
She LOVES to hold Brennen and will cover him up when he falls asleep

Some ways I knows she's always going to be my little baby girl:
She LOVES to cuddle still and have me rub her back when she watches TV
She still wants one of us to sleep with her and will tell us she's scared of the dark. (She will usually get one night every few weeks to actually sleep with us)
She still has her stuffed animal she takes to school everyday
She gives me hugs and kisses at school IN FRONT OF HER FRIENDS!!!
