Just one more sign

I remember clearly the disbelief I felt when I unpacked Carter's winter clothes in September. The pants and shirts didn't bother me, but the rompers did because she was supposed to fill those rompers. And they were huge! There was no way she was going to be that big. She was just a little baby. I knew in my head that it was just wishful thinking, that Carter would in fact get that big and that it would happen sooner than I thought. But I was still shocked when I saw those giant rompers. And now she's outgrown those much-too-big rompers. They barely snap between her legs. The arms and legs are too short. It's just one more sure sign that Carter's growing up, that my sweet baby has turned into a beautiful, active, curious, mischievous, charming, loving little girl right before our eyes.
