Whitney Anne {21 months}

My little lover bug is already 21 months old. Famous words of a Mother...where did the time go??!! After her first birthday the time has literally flown by. It's so crazy to think her second birthday is just around the corner. Why do they have to grow so fast?!

Whitney Anne,

You mean the absolute world to me. You are on my mind every second of the day. Everything you feel, I feel just as much. Your joy, pain and frustration. You are my very best friend and you will always stay that way. Here in a few months when you have a little sister my love for you won't change. It will only grow. I hope you understand that.

You are going through a tough little stage right now. You know what you want but you can't talk very well so you end up getting really frustrated. We are working on your talking, and I hope you can pick it up soon. I think it will make for less frustrating days all around.

You have such a strong personality (which we knew from day one). I'm not quite sure whose personality you have, but I have a feeling you are a lot like your Daddy. You know what you want and you are oh so persistent (like Daddy). Your sassy side, I'm really not sure who gave you that, maybe your Aunt Kathy. You look a lot like your Daddy but I think you are starting to look more like me everyday. Sometimes I look at you and see Aunt Kathy. It really depends on the day I guess.

Some of your favorite things as of late are cereal, toast, berries and cheese. You are such a picky little eater, that's quite the wide variety of foods haha. I don't know if you can sense something is about to change or what, but you have been attached to me lately, you don't want anyone other than your Mama. Of course you will always go to Nana. You LOVE those crazy cousins of yours, which I think they love you too. You do some of the silliest things, one of which is falling off the couch. You started putting your hands up, opening your mouth really wide and yelling "aaaahhh" and falling face first on the couch. Recently you have been trying to fall off the couch, thankfully your Daddy and I have been there to catch you every time because the little dare devil in you doesn't seem to care that it would be a 3 foot free fall. You love to climb, which I think you got that from me. You love to read, but lately it's been hard for you to sit still during a story.

You are my everything Whitney Anne, I don't know what I would do without you. I hope someday you understand how much I love you and that when I get on your case, it's only because I'm teaching you the unwritten rules of life.

Love Mama!
