New Glasses... and other growth

Alexis is our only child who needs glasses, so far. She gets a new pair each year, so on Monday Ez took Alexis to her eye exam and to pick out her new pair of frames. It took quite a while because there were many decisions to make--type of frame, color, shape...but in the end it was a choice between two cute pairs, and the one with the cuter (green) case won. They were ready fast--we got to go pick them up today.

The craziest thing about her new glasses? That's right. Alexis no longer fits into the youth glasses. What is up? When did my daughter start to grow enough to move out of the little kids stuff? Oh yeah, probably this summer when we were in San Diego on vacation and she went to put on a pair of Capri's and I realized she had grown out of nearly all her pants! Probably when her legs started getting so long that all her cute little knee length dresses and skirts looked far too short. And, oh yeah, probably when her feet grew an entire size over the summer, thus warranting all new shoes....

I guess it is safe to say Alexis really isn't my little girl any more! But isn't she growing up so lovely?
