What is the significance of this age, you wonder? Well, this is exactly how old Nikos was when she was born.
Looking at Maya now, she still seems SO little. Maybe it's because she will always be "the baby" in the family, but I cannot even imagine her as a big sister to another baby. Nor could I imagine being pregnant again! I guess we are just at a different place now!
Still, eighteen months and six days ago, our boy was this same size. And in a matter of minutes, he went from being a baby to a big boy, and from an only child to a big brother. I remember coming home from the hospital and noticing how big his hands and feet seemed, how active he was, and how thick his hair was. Of course, if I had another newborn, it would be easy to make these same comparisons with Maya! I actually did go through this just a few weeks ago, seeing her next to her baby cousin. She really IS a big girl!
Anyhow, just for kicks, here is the picture we took the night before Maya was born. Our last photo as a family of three!
And then Maya, with her cousin Colton a few weeks ago. Who's a big girl now (with her Farrah Fawcett hair)?
