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.
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!!!

She is so sweet. It is cool and sad how fast out kids are growing
