My baby isn't much of a baby any more. I know that's not news, but it's hit me fairly hard recently.
Note the purse hanging from her arm. She carried it all around the zoo on Saturday. And she insisted on carrying her sunscreen, her money, and her sunglasses (when she wasn't wearing them or hadn't hung them from her shirt) in HER purse. My purse was just for overflow. Sigh. Clearly I'm still needed, but Amelia's "independence" is so bitter sweet. On the "plus" side, it's still countered by daily (and David will tell you hourly) protests of "I want my Mommy!"
no matter how big and sophisticated she gets...even with her own office and business cards...she'll still be your baby. Trust me.
