Its been a big week for the Wards. Mostly for the smallest Ward! We moved into a big girl car seat this weekend. I can't believe it. This is a really big step for us. Because not only now does she not get carried into places now in her car seat, it means she has to sit in high chairs and grocery carts now. Truth be told, its hit me pretty hard. She is just growing so fast that I'm having a hard time treasuring every moment.
We also bought her highchair this weekend. She's sitting in it now like a big girl. She's really tiny in it, but she's a big girl. And, she's now talking up a storm. Sometimes its a little loud...teheheheh. Okay, a lot loud. She clearly didn't get it from the Ward side of the family... ooops =) But so Auntie Amanda got a good taste of what I've been talking about at the restaurant last night. During a couple points I was giving her the napkin to chew on in order to lessen the "Loudness" But don't you worry it didn't' stop my peanut! =) So now she's in the big girl car seat, she's sitting in high chairs on her own, she's sitting in grocery carts, and then she went and skipped the 6-9 month clothes. I'm pretty sure she had a crazy growth spurt. She has been following the sizes pretty close up until this point. She was in 0-3 months until 3 months, and then in the 3-6 until about 6 months and then from 6-7 she wore the 6-9 maybe once and then its off to 12 month clothes. Crazy!
I'm definitely having a hard time with this growing big thing.
But so Craig and I decided yesterday that we would start getting up early so that we can get ready for work early and then when she wakes up about 6:15-6:30 we could spend time with her going for a walk, going to breakfast, etc. So we set the alarm early this morning and are just about to get into the shower, when what do we hear? Little wake up whimpers. WHAT???? She's on to us. That little girl knew we were trying to get ready early.
That is pretty much why I have time to write this morning. Because we hurried to get showered and ready and were playing with her on the bed and then she was yawning and now she's asleep and we're up and ready to go. Life definitely doesn't go as you plan it.
We just got word from my Aunt and Uncle that they are free next weekend. So we'll be heading up to Stevenson's Ranch for some fun family time. We're all really excited. Okay, I've got to really get ready to head off to work. Here are some more recent pics. Enjoy.
