What Difference a Year Makes

I was looking through Matthew's pictures from a gathering at his Grammy's house last weekend. I found this picture of Cecilia sitting in Uncle Peter's lap. She had climbed up because she couldn't reach any of the yummy cookies... so she hung out and ate her cookie with him too. She has grown up so much since last year. This may not seem like a big deal, but one year ago, she would never have done this! She was a very social baby, but when she turned 2, she became extremely shy. Especially at these family gathering (meaning large, loud, Italian family), she would stay close to us and not even play with the other kids. Now, I'm lucky if I even see her!
