my 21 month has lost her baby face

[Pavlovthecat]

.
too.

She is sat here trying to climb on me with a mouth full of food, with the most gorgeous face, hair all tousled, big eyes, promounced nose and eyes, and not a smidge of baby there.

She has her 'own' face now if that makes sense. It happened almost overnight. In fact since her canines came through couple weeks ago i guess.

'pronounced' that should have read.

.it is sad but means shes becomming her!i hated people saying to me oh hasnt she/he grown,not a baby any more.boo hoo

I am torn emotionally, one part of me wants her to still be a baby, the other part is just loving watching her walk and run with less of that baby waddle, although she does waddle a little still, hearing her talk with more and more clarity each day, the slight nasal change in pronunciations recently (last few days). Her voice sounds much more like a voice now too, not so baby like, although still full of crying and grunting! I love the way she asks for things now, expresses excitement and annoyance in more vocal ways, understands what she does and does not want, to a small degree.

I was just stunned when I looked at her today with a full face of her own expressions, a little girl. Its amazing . She looks amazing . She is going to stay beautiful I think (not in the least bit biased)

Awww Pavlov. That's lovely.

I was looking at my dd the other day and thinking much the same. Sometimes she's still a baby. Sometimes she's a real little person and I wonder where on earth she came from! It's mind boggling.

She has just run in to the front room and shouted 'hey' 'hey'! 'mum' mum'. I have no idea where she got mum from always been 'mama', or sometime 'mumee' usually when she is being told she cant do something. She is now at the PC computer, tapping away like she has important business.

I cant believe she is only 21 months (tomorrow). It changed all so suddenly!
