Getting So Big

I was looking at some photos of the Little Bean from back in January and then all the way back from October. She has changed so much. When I see the old pictures I can't believe that she ever looked like that. It is so weird that she could change so quickly, yet so subtly that we don't notice at the time.
Even more crazy, the Little Bean is going to be 1.5 years old in just a week or so. She is walking and running and talking more every day. Yesterday, she said, "eat" for the first time. It makes us laugh because most of the words she knows are related to eating or drinking. She really is her father's daughter. :)
Like most kids, she is also really excited about airplanes and helicopters. She hears them much before her father and I do and then she makes ape noises, "ooh-ooh" and points into the sky. Birds are also a big favorite. It is just so amazing that she went from this little tiny thing with no personality to this wild gypsy baby with a super strong personality and her own opinions, desires, and ideas.
Who knew it was going to happen this fast.
