she turned two a month and twelve days ago and i still haven't fully come to grips with that and all of the very two year old things she's doing like stringing words together and talking non stop and being funny on purpose and saying, on repeat, 'whoah mommy. whoah daddy. whoah ME!' and just the way she LOOKS two and so much more like a kid and not a baby and it's all very good and everything but part of my heart is just aching. it's going so fast and she's getting so big and so grown up and it really does feel like it was just yesterday that we brought her sleepy self home from the hospital. my heart, it feels too big for my chest like maybe it used to fit but it just doesn't anymore. she's made it too big.
