babies grow up fast

i'm on leave at the office now. and one thing I realize about being a mom is this: kids grow up so fast. In a span of nine months I've seen my baby change from this independent infant now to a stronger-willed toddler. its amazing to see just how much she learns and adapts with her environment with each passing day. sometimes just seeing her learn one thing can bring so much more joy to me than would a good grade at school then, its true when they say that motherhoods brings with it infinite joys. I just never could imagine what would make me happy now if I didn't have jessica.
