not a baby.

Well, its official! Mona is no longer a baby. She is 2 which officially makes her a toddler and not a baby. Not only does her age confirm her lack of babieness but she is potty training, sleeping in a big bed, she's getting more independent and bossy, I can't buy her clothes in the baby section, she likes to brush her own teeth and the list could go on. Surprisingly I'm loving this stage (minus a few headache's from her proclaimed Independence).

I was in Mona's nursery a couple nights ago. I was in her room taking down the butterfly appliques off the wall. I stopped for a moment and I found myself getting rather emotional and teary eyed. At first I wasn't quite sure where the tears and emotions where coming from. I suppose that in all the excitement of Mona moving into a big bed and having another little bundle of joy on the way; I had yet to process that Mona's baby stage is officially a chapter closed. Not that I would ever desire to have time stand still but I wasn't prepared for the emotions that came with changing her nursery.

So to not dwell on the bit of sadness I felt about Mona never being a baby again I want to celebrate her with pictures of Mona in her big bed. We count our blessings everyday for our healthy, growing and learning Mona.
