She used to point to her picture on the wall and say "Baby!"
Now she says "Me!," pointing to my belly instead when someone asks her where the baby is.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Her babyness pulled the wool over my eyes.
It blinded me from the reality of her growing up.
Then she walked and talked and asked for a "di-pah" to poop in.
Somtime during our countless slumber parties -- our 2am arguments over what blanket in which order like I'm pulling the arm of a slot machine hoping to hit the right combination like a jackpot -- she changed.
She went to bed a baby and woke up a "Me."
Happy Birthday, Margot. My heart. And my very swollen eyes.
Looks so petty and photographs is also awesome and she have photogenic face .

Happy birthday to your beautiful girl.
Kristen? Two is still a baby. Even when they say things like "mine no baby mama". They are still babies.

Happy happy birthday you gorgeous thing you. Soon you're going to get the best present of all - a little sister to kick around. Then you'll really be a me and not a baby.
(Aw man...now my eyes are going.)

I have six more days before "two" arrives and I am in the same place. I wish that I could put her into slow motion just to have a few more minutes with my baby. Though I would fast forward through bedtime, just because that marathon sucks the life out of me :)
