Toddler mode

A lady in South Orange County blessed our family with this princess table.  JP had opened it up to inspect it and Sarah played with it.  I wasn't fully intending with her to play with it right away because I didn't think she was ready.Then again, there were a lot of things I didn't think she was ready for but proved me wrong.  The only reason why I found out was she was ready was I just tried it to see what would happen.

Here, she is looking like a big girl sitting at her table.  Looks like she likes it.

 

And then she couldn't keep still and tried to climb on her chair...

 

 

I think this is when it hit me that she is transitioning into full on toddler mode.  Not that she wasn't showing signs, but I think this is when it truly hit me that my baby isn't a "baby."  She'll always be me and JP's baby girl.  It's just that now we feel she is growing so fast.  She's trying to feed herself with a spoon and even though she can't quite get it, she won't let us help her; she'll get mad.  But we can't take away the spoon either and just let her eat with her hands.  She walks and semi-runs all over the house.  She's showing more of her independent spirit.  She's always been curious.  But seeing her independence come out...I honestly love it.  I love that she is walking all over the place.  People told me that once they start walking, "that's it."  This is just the beginning.  I find it so much easier to watch her while she's walking and wandering around.  I personally love it.
