Sometimes I miss those little baby days of firsts. First real food, first words, first crawling, first steps, first running....so many things. The growth is constantly visible and occurs so quickly it can be mind-boggling.

Then, after a couple of years, the pace seems a little slower for some reason. To be sure, there are still milestones - words turn into sentence fragments that turn into sentences, scribbles turn into letters that turn into written words, doodles turn into amorphous shapes that turn into stick figures. The evolution is more reasonably paced - so much so that you might not even realize it's happening until it does.
Which is probably why, in these last few months, the several "firsts" we've experienced with Anna seem so striking.
