So I do realize she is going to be off and running in no time, but I love the ease of setting Annie down on the floor in the kitchen while I'm doing my best at being Betty Crocker. She absolutely loves "helping" me in the kitchen! Maybe it's just the being close to me that she loves, but I think she's genuinely interested in the things I do, especially when things make noise, such as cooking. The freedom now of completely supporting herself has given Annie a sense of pride, and Brian and I a sense of "ahhh..." to know we don't have to be right there at her side, every second of the day. We love the little moments in life like this one.
