In the past year, she's grown up so much right before my very eyes. When she turned two, I wondered if she would EVER have hair. Since then she's had a haircut and at (almost) three, she still has enough hair for pigtails. She's gotten taller, lost her baby cheeks and while she's still distinctly Angelica, she looks like the little kid version of her instead of the baby I saw just 12 months ago.
It really shows how much can happen in a year.
She officially turns three this weekend. Birthdays always bring about nostalgia, but this is a big one for me because I actually remember being three. My sister was born a few weeks after I turned three. I remember visiting her at the hospital. I remember staying at my grandma's house. Knowing that I can remember back to this age makes me acutely aware of the things I say and do now with Angelica because I want her memories to be good ones.
She's growing up fast, after all. One day, she won't want me to rub her back and read her bedtime stories. She won't greet me after school by screaming "MOMMY!" and hugging me tight. These are truly times to cherish and enjoy.
