Just Because

... she is growing up so fast. Three years and two months, and trying so hard to be a big girl like her sissy. She's talking and running and playing and singing. My little girl who began bible study last fall with just a handful of words, mostly unintelligible, now recites her six memorized bible verses in song (she also hasn't really stopped talking since her vocabulary caught up with her). She's fond of saying, "that's 'mazing!"

And yet, here she is. Still has those chubby baby cheeks, the little nose, the wide eyes, taking in the big world. Don't grow up too fast, little one. Mommy's not ready yet.
