Growing Right Before My Eyes

P is almost 15 months old now. It is amazing how fast she is growing up. Lately, I have been in awe in how much she has been learning: the new words, her becoming very independent, and just how much she has grown.

She now will come up to me with her arms raised and say, "up, up, mommy." It seams like yesterday when she was just learning how to roll over. She also started to plug her nose whenever I say, eww stinky. That one gets me giggling every time. Her vocabulary is growing everyday it seems. Some of her new words she as learned are: up, no, yes, baby and of course, Elmo. She has been saying mommy and daddy for quite some time now.

Every day she is doing something different. Just the other night, I was holding her in my arms before bed, she looked at me and pointed to the ceiling where there were shapes displaying in different colors from her lullaby projector. She has had this projector since birth but she has never tried to bring it to my attention before.

She likes to try different things and is definitely not afraid of anything. She as started to stack everything and anything she can get her hands on. She also likes to hide things in places unknown. I still don't know where the remote is for our dvd player. Randomly, I find toys and sippy cups in different cupboards. I can't help but laugh when I come across these things.

I just can't begin to describe the way I feel when I see my daughter growing up right before my eyes. It makes me so happy, yet so sad all at the same time.
