Growing up too fast!

Within the last few weeks Adelaide has:

1. Learned how to go up and down our deadly stairs to our bedroom. She knows that its only okay if we are with her, and she is doing a really good job at it!
2. Stopped using her pacifier to go to sleep. We are still working on this one and she struggles for a while before she can sleep. The first night was so hard....she was asking me "mama what am I supposed to do with my mouth?' and she asked me to put my finger over her lips and nose while she tried to sleep. It was heartbreaking...but she finally was able to sleep.
3. We stopped putting diapers on her to go to sleep. Her diapers have been dry for months now, but every now and then we get a wet one. We just tell her that she won't have a diaper on, so not to pee in her pants, and also have her pee before we go to bed to be sure she has an empty bladder for the night. So far, so good!
4. Today she figured out how to peddle her tricycle. She is growing up so fast right in front of us. She's been using complete sentences for months now, and even uses words like "actually" correctly. People comment often on her communication skills and we are so proud of her.

I hope we aren't pushing her to grow up too fast. Now that the baby is on the way I feel like there are certain things that she should be able to do. Next up, buckling her car seat!
