Check out my two teeth! Mommy finally got a picture of them.

This is our little Tiger. When this picture was taken she was just starting to try to walk holding on to us. Now however, she can get around just fine without us!!

Independence, a great thing I suppose. However, I am finding it sad to let go of her, even at such a young age. I know I should be happy and cheer her on as she takes her first steps and then takes off running across the room. At the same time, I miss holding on to her as well.

One of the greatest experiences so far was one evening after we picked her up from day care and she was giving her daddy a big hug. Then she turned and reached for me and I took her in my arms and she gave me a big hug too. Then she reached for daddy again, and hugged him some more. She kept giving us turns for getting some love from her. It was a truly great experience!

She still does this ocassionally of an evening and I have to admit that it is one of the greatest experiences I can recall! There is nothing like a great hug and kiss from a pint sized bundle of love to make the day better.
