Looking Forward

Today, we turned around her carseat so she can face forward and be able to stretch out her long legs. She's gotten tall. Sometimes it's hard to see how big your baby's grown until someone else tells you, or all of sudden, you notice that she doesn't fit in her chair anymore. When I see other mothers carrying their kids like they weigh nothing, I wonder if they realize how heavy he or she is! I asked my mom if she still sees me as a baby. She smiled and said nothing. I know my dad still does.
I know I'm going to have hard time letting go of a lot of things as she grows older. (Andrew promised to hold my hand through it all. :)) At the same time, I look foward to seeing what God's plans are for her, what she's made of, what she'll be interested in, what sports she'll enjoy playing...
