Baby to Toddler

It's true. Weslyn is definitely not a baby anymore. I mean, let's get one thing straight, she will ALWAYS be my baby, but she's certainly grown up in these last couple of months. It's really made me feel...old. When you no longer have a baby and you have a kid you're officially an adult. At least that's how I feel. I also feel like I'm officially a parent. Only because with this new toddler stage now comes, discipline. Oh goodness, of all the years I've studied child psychology and behaviors, never did anything prepare me for correcting my own child's behavior. It's been heart breaking at times, but those times have been worth it for my proud mama moments. It's an exhausting task but very, very necessary. I'm so happy the Lord guides us in this area because there are too many books to look thru that have completely opposite directives. I really can't complain though. All in all, she's a really great kid. A little fiesty (you won, mom) but still a really great kid.

I see Lawton and myself in her everyday. She loves the outdoors, being with her friends and being really, really silly We've had a great time experiencing her as a toddler. I'm so excited for what the next year will bring us with her.

At the library doing an art activity

She was very fascinated with the paint. I see many finger painting day
in our near future!

Our new Saturday ritual. Going to the park and walking around for...hours. Kobe and Weslyn. They just can't get enough of it. 

In the backyard enjoying a snack. This was one of those moments
that I had to capture. Nothing special about it, but I just hope I
remember it forever. 

Just so you know, I realize most of my blog posts are about the child.
Don't worry, Kobe is still around and still the best dog ever. 

Happy February everyone! Hope you all are having a great start to 2013.
