Two milestones (Warning: Very Sappy)

Sophie has let go of one of her signature baby things and I am a mess.
Ever since Sophie started making noises, there was "Dee". Her first letter sound was D, and her word for yes became Dee.

Today, for some reason, it is over. She is saying "yes". ONLY. She has used both words interchangeably for sometime, but tonight I was even testing her, asking her questions that she usually says Dee to. Do you want some more milk? Yes. Do you want to read some books? Yes. It just did not sound right.

This did not happen to me after she gave up bottles or diapers or crawling... but for some reason, as I was rocking her tonight, tears were just streaming down my face.

I am sure this is not the first time I will wish for time to slow down.

Also, tonight, Sophie did something else I have not heard her do until now.
Here it is.
