My big girl.
I know I say ALL OF THE ACTUAL TIME how much I can't believe how quickly Tiger is growing up, but I really, really, really felt it yesterday.
Daddy Bear and Tiger emerged from a little turn about the garden, with a very precious find.
A lovely, ripe, fuzzy (in a way that reminded me, sweetly, of Tiger's funny, fuzzy little head), straight-off-the-tree peach.
And, after he took a bite himself, Daddy Bear held the gorgeous little fruit to Tiger's gorgeous little mouth.
And she opened up.
And took a big bite with her two little teeth.
And then she gummied up the bite of peach and she swallowed it.
All. By. Her. Little. Self.
Later, (after stealing a few Very Big Girl licks of a special ice cream treat in the park), Daddy Bear chopped up another peach and Tigesy FED IT TO HERSELF WITH HER OWN LITTLE HAND.
Daddy Bear and I are already planning sandwich fillings, and how Tiger might have a couple of small bites of our dinner when we go out as a family for Valentine's Day.
Because she is Big Now, so she can do that, you know.
And, in the meantime, we have a tree positively bursting with peaches.
Millions of them. For free. For Tigesy.
How lovely is that?
