Sometimes when you're in constant contact you can miss some of the changes that happen. Jasmine has grown so much taller but it's hard to tell because she grows a little bit every day. We notice it when suddenly one day she can reach an item we put high up on a shelf.
Other changes are noticeable. Jasmine is very outgoing and social. She knows how to test the limits of her parents and grandma. We know because she runs up to us to plant a big kiss to ask for permission (it works sometimes).
But it's her perseverance that is truly inspirational. If she wants to climb up somewhere she'll figure out a way. That might mean pulling up a stool, cushion, or my leg.
My wife always reminds me to be careful what I do and say. One of the most hilarious things is Jasmine copies how grandma calls Mom by her name. Of course we want Jasmine to refer to her mom as mom so we have to hide our amusement when she does it. This will be one to retell in the future.
