Milestones!

So I've been looking at Kasey's blog and missing the new things that kids discover. And I realize that Jaydn doesn't do 'new' things anymore and there's not much to get excited about these days. Or maybe it's just that they are few and far between. But much to my surprise something new took place a couple of weeks ago.
I was just getting off the phone with Robby when Jaydn said "mommy, mommy, look what I did." Of course I didn't pay attention until I was off of the phone and to my excitement, Jaydn had written her name. I felt that same feeling I had when she rolled over for the first time or took her first step! I looked at it and realized that she had spelled her name wrong so I told her, "honey you forgot the d" and her response was, " but mommy, I don't know how to make a D". So we have worked on our D's and she can now write her name. It's not always neat or on the same line, but she can do it!
That same weekend we had another first. On Friday when we got home from running errands, I checked my email to see that Jaydn had been invited to her first sleep-over. I called the mom to get specifics and she asked if Jaydn could come. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but asked Jaydn if she wanted to go to Alexa's and she got extremely excited. I got everything ready and an hour later the mom was here. I walked her outside and felt sad to see her leaving without me. I've left her with family before, but never has she left the house and I stayed here. It made me sad. But she had a blast and came home exhausted! And for the first time since she was born, we slept alone in the house.
It's amazing how quickly they grow up. I miss the days of new discoveries, but I also know that Jaydn will discover new things they just won't be as often as with a newborn.
