Milestone.

She's so ready to be grown. 

I love her just the way she is. :)

I know, though, that this is only the beginning of the many "big girl" milestones that will take place over the next few months. 

I'll prepare myself to both laugh and cry at the same time.  That seems to be the best way to handle this whole parenting thing.

At least, it seems to work best for me.
