I can't believe she's only/already 23 months old!

Annabelle has figured out how to get into her bedroom closet. At first I was annoyed at the daily task of having to clean up the books and toys and clothes that she managed to pull out, inspect, and then throw on the floor. But now I just sigh and appreciate twenty minutes of quiet time.






When I first saw this picture I was surprised at how mature she seems. She isn't feigning shock, I had genuinely caught her off guard: she didn't realize that Momma could just pop her head in the other side! But Annabelle has a knack for the dramatic and her hyper-response to my surprise picture is so evident in this shot.
