So this is a smidge more than I can handle. Rodeo Day was today so I quickly snapped this picture on her way out the door. And spent the rest of the day looking at it over and over with that lump in the throat feeling. When did she get so big?
Until now, I had just been going with the natural, logical assumption that little clothes-shrinking fairies had been wreaking havoc in her closet. (They do it all the time in mine…pesky little things) But, now I see it – She really is getting bigger.
This was not supposed to have happened overnight. But somehow it did.
And not sure if you can tell from the picture, but her two front teeth are gone. And we have put the tooth fairy on high alert as teeth #5 and #6 are about to make their grand exit.
I’m going to miss all those little baby teeth. It wasn’t long ago we were celebrating their arrival….sniffle, sniffle.
Slow down, Lanie. Slow down.

She is so beautiful!
Such a grown up these days. Lanie will probably grow another 3 inches by the time I see her next!
