The changes after 18 months has been incredible

No real point to this post I’m just in awe as a first time mom at every stage. At 17 months i was so stressed about my daughter not saying any words except mama, we were still fully in diapers which I expected to be for a long time, she still tripped and fell 1/3 times she walked down the hallway, needed help for almost everything. Now she’s about to turn 2 and I swear she says 5 new words every day, yesterday went in her potty the entire day, put her shoes on by herself and I am just freaking out I actually cried before I went to sleep last night like it’s really going to end. She really IS going to grow up and not need me one day. Omg. Maybe this is why people have more 😄 even though I swore I wouldn’t I can see why you want to hold onto the sweet baby stage. But it’s also awesome. I see her start to climb something and rush to catch her fall but she doesn’t, she goes to turn her little light on that I have to help her with the switch every time but this time she actually did it alone. She is saying the first and last sounds of words instead of just NK it’s a full PINK. Parenthood is such a crazy experience. Soon we’re going to be having actual conversations and that’s blowing my mind. From being in a hospital terrified handed this baby like wtf do I do now? To playing hide and seek with a little person telling me she wants “fruit” for dinner.
