ch..ch..changes

so...my little lady isn't so little anymore.

this week has been all about letting her grow, the six month mark is around the corner and after two bins full of clothes that don't even fit her anymore...i decided to accept the change, enjoy the change, celebrate it even.

she is no longer a pumpkin-seat babe. onto bigger and better views in her new big girl chair.

this was definitely an easy adjustment for her...and an even easier one on my arms. in six more months she will actually get to turn around for an awesome view of the back of my head..but for now, she likes to talk and sing and fall fast asleep.

and our little lady has moved from meals in her bumbo to a big girl 'high' chair.

this is my favorite part of the day...because when addie eats it's as if every bite may be her last-so she leans toward the spoon (and me) a little closer everytime until she practically has her head on the tray. it is extremely entertaining but extremely difficult to get food in a mouth i can't see.

so far - addie loves squash and by loves i mean her head makes it to the tray much faster than with anything else.

and she HATES pears and by hates i mean she actually leans back.

but the biggest one of all is that today, on the fourth day of daycare, i show up to find her sitting up, unsupported, and having a blast. WHAT? the only place i have ever seen her sitting up is on my lap - where she eventually falls from balance. and when i looked surprised and said "look at you!" they said, "she's been sitting up all morning". i have to admit i was part beaming proud and part dying inside that i hadn't seen it first...that i hadn't let go of her at home long enough to let her try...but...

that doesn't matter. she is learning. she is growing. she is definitely changing.

and how could i be jealous...she is mine. i'm the one that gets the first smile in the morning and that is all that counts. cause damn its a good one.
