My GrOwNuP gIrL

Having a little girl is the best thing ever!! Not only do I get to fix her hair everyday, but I look forward to picking out her clothes and dressing her up everyday. I adore dressing her up in dresses, cute flip flops, jean shorts and tanks, etc. Shopping for her is much easier than shopping for myself, so the girl has more clothes than her daddy and me put together. That's saying a lot because I bet her daddy could wear a T-shirt a day for three months and he still wouldn't have to worry about laundering any of them!

One morning this week, I decided to let Koko Bean wear one of her dresses I bought for this Fall. Actually, this time, she insisted. When I put it on her, I melted. Not only was she super adorable as to be expected, but she looked grown-up!! My little girl has lost that baby-like appearance and is starting to look more like the toddler she is- almost preschool!

I hope Dad realizes he better stay in shape because this pretty little girl is going to be a knockout. Despite her cuteness, this sweet little girl has been sort of whiny and needy these days. She hates being away from either of us, cries when we leave the room, and is back to sleeping in our bed. I am hoping this is a phase. She also has a separate playroom full of toys in our new house, but never plays in it. In our old apartment, she played in her room for hours. Even though we've lived here for over a month, Koko Bean still asks to go home. I'm also hoping this is a phase. For now though, I will enjoy all the extra cuddles and the fact that she needs both of us. One day, I will look back on this time and miss it.
