All Kinds of Excitement

This was the scene pretty much every day this week.









Today as I watched her chubby little legs go as fast as they could toward the ocean and listened to her giggle as she got close to the waves, I couldn't help but get slightly sentimental. Last year, we came to this same beach and stayed in this same house and she was just a little baby... still getting up through the night and drinking bottles and sitting in one place on the beach and stuffing sand into her mouth by the handfuls.
And this year she had more excitement than I've ever seen in one person and brought so much joy to this trip. And as I watched her little legs sprint to the ocean over and over again, and laughed as she cried out with joy when her feet touched the water... I couldn't help but think... what will next year be like?
and in the blink of an eye will she be a sassy teenager wanting to wear a little bikini?!
So when I got up to chase her for the fourteenth time... I thought... well... can she stay like this just a little longer please?! :)
And when I tucked her into bed and she said "night. i you." (Savannah's version of i love you) i thought... can she stay this age forever please?!
Okay I'm done with my sentimental posts. Promise. :) Thanks for bearing with a sappy momma. :)

Don't apologize for being sentimental -- I get like this at least once a day :) Glad to know I'm not the only one who wants to make time stand still :)
