What a Difference a Year Makes

I love looking through Ladybug's pictures. She has grown so much! When I hold my 35 inch tall, 35 lb toddler, I sometimes forget what a small little bundle she started out to be. Small is a relative word, since she was 8 lb 9 oz at birth.

In November 2007, she was 5 months old. She was starting to sit up independently. I love this picture from last year when my sister, brother-in-law, and my mom were in town.

And here is our precious Ladybug playing in the leaves. She is almost 18 months old. She runs, jumps, is starting to show some independent thought (read: she doesn't always want to listen to Momma), and plays independently. What a difference a year makes!

  6. I cannot believe how much she has grown and changed. A year does make such a difference in baby years........she's adorable. I just want to squeeze her.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  7. I have been thinking the same thing. I took Grace to her 18 month check up, yesterday. I can't believe the changes. Although my Grace is tiny in comparison to your ladybug. She is only 23 1/2 lbs and 33 inches tall. It is so fun to watch her little mind work. She likes to sit with her books and "read", as well. Everyday is a new word. Enjoy your ladybug. She is precious. Isn't God great? We both have so much to be thankful for! Have a blessed Thanksgiving weekend.

  8. It's amazing to watch them grow and change. I love to go back and compare photos of The Bean from a year ago and two years ago and three years ago.

  9. It is crazy how time flies! She is a cutie! My little one was only a few weeks old last Thanksgiving. It is amazing the changes that happen the first year.
