Evie is sixteen months old today. It's hard to believe. She is such a little grown-up. I love the stage she is in currently... not that I haven't loved them all, of course. However, I am finding this stage particularly enjoyable; hearing Evie's vocabulary grow in abundance, watching her entertain herself by dreaming up her own stories for her dollies and stuffed animals, and finding her love for cuddling irresistible.
Her extreme interest for independence is incredible. She wants to be 'in-charge' of everything! Because SHE can do it. I didn't prepare myself for experiencing such an independent little girl so soon. I love it, but it is an interesting emotion I feel knowing that my sixteen-month-old daughter is already in the process of 'pushing' her Mommy to a distance that gives her as much freedom as possible. I recognize that she still needs me, and always will to a degree. However, it is a wake-up call realizing that Evie is so quickly becoming that special individual I hope her to become.
