Lately I have been thinking a lot of when Brooklyn was born, and how things were when she was a baby. Most likely this is caused with expecting another one soon, and thinking of what we may expect. Then earlier this week I realized that today she is officially 1 1/2. I didn't think this would feel like a milestone or anything, but I am really feeling like it is a big day. We accomplished raising her without going too insane for 1 1/2 years already and without too many bumps on the way. She has grown into a toddler, only a tiny bit of her still a baby, using her personality to learn to new things daily. We have been so blessed with Brooklyn, spoiled with her compared to most kids. Some not so fun times included bringing her to the emergency when she fell down the stairs, chicken pox, some kind of mouth disease, and only a couple colds. Even teething for Brooklyn wasn't that bad as many of her teeth all of a sudden just appeared. Now we are only waiting for the 2 year molars and we'll be done.
Within this last week I have felt like I lost a lot of my baby as she moved from her crib to her big girl's bed. I have found this the hardest "letting go" so far. She no longer needs the walls of the crib to keep her safe. She's relying on herself mostly, learning to trust herself more, to not let herself fall out of the bed.
I'm not sure what other sappy stuff to write, there are too many memories to even begin. So I will end off with posting some pics of Brooklyn's room renovation, the pics I promised 2 months ago already.

My daddy built this bed just for me:)
