I have been looking through old pictures lately, and having a blast. I can't believe how much all the kids have changed, but this one picture really got me. I don't remember exactly when it was taken, but probably about two years ago. Chloe was still in her crib and still had a pacifier, but what really gets me is her hand. She used to always hold onto her shirt, or whatever she was wearing, at the neck. That was her comfort, and she would do it whenever she was sleepy, or shy, or sometimes just because. She did it from the time she was little bitty, and I can't for the life of me remember when it stopped! It's funny, and sad, how that happens. It's not something that I was waiting for her to outgrow, actually I kinda liked it. Which explains why it makes me sad that I didn't notice when she outgrew it. *sigh* Sometimes I really wish that I had a pause button, just to have a little extra time every now and then.

I just noticed that she's still in the crib in that picture. My little girl!
I had a little girl once who would hide behind me when she was shy. At some point she grew out of it and started running ahead of me to grab life. I often wonder when she got so big!
