3 years 1 month 3 days old

Today Lucy is the exact same age that Audrey was the day she became a big sister. It is so amazing to watch the two of them growing side by side. How different they are. The way they learn, the way the react to situations, the way they communicate, they way they love and want to be loved. It’s hard not to compare. I will never forget that day. Sitting in bed holding my brand new tiny baby. And looking up to see my firstborn had grown into a little girl right before my eyes. What a surreal feeling that was. So bittersweet. Here we are, 3 years 1 month and 3 days later. And when I look at Lucy I see the things that she has learned from her big sister wanting to be a big girl herself. Things that make her seem older than 3. But then at the very same time, I see the things that will make her my tiny baby forever. And for now, those are the things that I cherish the most.
