Wow my best friend, (and niece,) Lili sure has changed since our March trip to Amsterdam. Apparently babies develop quite rapidly in the first two years of their existence; morphing from stumbling little creatures that play with blocks and keys into tiny little people that enjoy reading and taking rides on swings.

Here’s Lili on the left shopping in the Freisland, and on the right a photo from this month enjoying the summer. The drastic speed of this transformation is astounding. I really never paid attention before and had no idea.

Conversely it doesn’t appear I’ve changed at all between this 2005 photo and this picture taken March of 2008. (taken again with Lili.) Strange, baffling, yet interesting indeed.
