Tomorrow she'll want to borrow the car

My teeny, tiny baby isn't so teeny, tiny anymore. And of course, it's much harder on me than it is on her.

Last night, she spent her first night in her crib...in her room...way down the hall...all alone. She looks so tiny in her bed. But she was fine. We still got up for a bottle at 4:30, but maybe as we introduce solid foods in the next couple of weeks that will ease up. Or we could do like T said and just plan on getting up every day at that time. I am holding out that 4:30 is not my new wake-up time, but it very well could be.

I also got her a little chair that helps her as she learns to sit up on her own. She spent some time last night playing in her new chair - just enjoying the view from her new upright position.

Tomorrow I'm sure she'll be walking around and telling me how I'm unfair and not cool and other random "momma sucks" kind of things. Although I don't plan on letting her use the term "sucks". See? I'm so not cool.

Honey, she's only just begun. I was going through some old pictures last night and wondering where that puffy, chipmunk cheeked child went. I can’t get over how much Devin has changed. It’s been a blast watching him grow, but those high school years are approaching quickly and very football game that I go to all I can think is there aren’t many of these left.

Tell ME about it. My number 1 baby girl now has a baby girl! Add another year to that age, Nicole, in about three weeks. Oh, you too, Addie. And don't worry, it is VERY cool to be "not cool" to your daughter. Remember how uncool I was Nicole, Leslie, Addie, Claudia, Julie, Shawn...?
