What a Difference a Year Makes

January 22nd, 2008 by karli

We have a new tradition – it turns out we always go to Rood Bridge Park on Martin Luther King Day… and it’s always stinking COLD! Since the sun was out today, we thought it might be a good idea to make use of it and head outside. We had no idea just how cold it was until we had spend the 40 minutes it takes to get both kiddos bundled up and in and out of the car, only to spend less than 20 minutes at the park before we started to be concerned about frostbite on Mylie’s gloveless hands. But we did stay long enough to grab a few good pictures. And the best part is, we have pictures from this day last year! The untrained eye may not be able to notice the subtle differences of the pictures at the right, but to us, they signify just what a difference a year makes. Yes, she can still fit into the same coat. But notice in last year’s photos (on top) how closely Daddy hangs out around her to make sure she doesn’t face plant. Also, her little head is barely past the top of the rail, and it’s quite a reach to make it from step to step. Fast forward one year (to the bottom photos), and she’s all on her own, a head above the rail, and she can even stop to pose.

    I can tell… her legs are definetely longer and she’s taller. I love that comparison. What a neat tradition. It’s so fun to see that… you’ll have to post next years too!
