This Child of Mine...

Amazes me more and more everyday. She is totally blossoming right before our eyes. Dallas will be two next month and is totally toddler. She also has two of her two-year molars to prove it! She is very independant and doesn't want us to do everything for her like we used to do. I don't have to feed her anymore, I just have to clean up the mess she leaves behind!!! Bottles are a thing of the past after I discovered which sippy cup she preferred. We finally weaned her off formula and she is on whole milk. Dallas sleeps in her own bed through the night finally!!! John and I are back in our room and our comfy king-size bed(big grin on my face). Last night I was sitting here at the computer(no surprise) just messing around and trying to download some video from the digital camera. Dallas walks in and wants up in my lap. She puts her arms around my neck and puts her little lips to my cheek and squeezes her arms to give me a hug and kisses me at the same time. I just wanted to cry. I have waited for so long for her to do that. That was the first time she ever really hugged me and it felt like heaven. Of course I had to run and tell John. Now if I could only get her to change her own diapers and pick up her toys!!!
