Wow...the weather is getting colder and the food it getting more plentiful. It seems like I cook so much more when it starts to get cold. Do I think I need a layer of fat for the winter? I dont.
It seems that since the arrival of Katie who is now 16 months old, that time has gone by so fast. Even the days that I thought would never end with no sleep and crying and all that stuff that new babies do. I cant believe all of that is over. Now she walks and is always on the verge of talking. She says certain things, strange things but they are cute none the less.
Today she walked around for a long time with mittens on. She has never had mittens on before so I am only assume it was entertaining. She finds something new every day to experience. Things that are so simple to me are fascinating to her. Qtips...she loves qtips. I dont know why. She finds them very amusing.
It is all so happy and so sad at the same time. I know that someday I will forget so many of these little things. I know that someday I will say she is 16, not 16mt and she will want nothing to do with me. But right now, while she will let me, I will hold her and snuggle her and play with her and kiss her all I can.
I want to remember all the little things she does. I try to video tape as much as I can. We bought her a toddler recliner for the living room and she thinks it is so much fun. She laughs at it, she plays in it, she lines up toys along the arms, she stores fish in the cup holder and she bounces on the seat. She sit in there like an adult with a book. She looks so big to me. Her outlook on life is admirable.
