Paisley decided that she needed to see the ball drop along with her mommy and daddy. As soon as it was officially January 1st, she was out like a light. As I watched her sleep, I started thinking about how it was no longer the year she was born and from now I on I would say that my baby was born last year. This made my heart hurt. Don't get me wrong, I love watching her grow and learn, but as I've said in posts before, it only reminds me that she's not going to be a baby forever. I'm looking forward to what 2011 has to offer, but it has a lot to live up to :)

I have found that there's a little "bittersweet" in even the happiest moments. It just moves so fast and I totally understand wanting to slow things down and keep them little as long as possible. :) I can't even think about the fact that my baby is almost three and will be starting preschool this year or I will cry! You do an awesome job of treasuring the here and now, and it's such a blessing that we get to spend our days with our girls!
