How did this happen?

Today i put molly in pigtails, then looked at her. Suddenly my baby looked like a little girl. *sigh* I have seen signs of this happening, rocking her the other day i noticed just how long she was, her little baby hands are now toddler hands exploring and wrapping me around those fingers. It is bitter sweet, i know before long she will be independent and not need so much from me. For now i am grateful that i get to spend every moment with her.
