Ok I don't mean for this to come across as a clique post about how sad I am that Adalyn is growing up, but it might sound a little bit like that so I am sorry in advance. :)
Many of you who know me, know that I have this intense love of all things newborn. Seriously melts my heart. One of my old coworkers (this sweet older woman) that I worked with when I was the infants teacher at a daycare (she at the time was the preschool teacher but our classrooms connected by a huge window, basically think of a fishbowl...) used to tell me everyday that she just loved watching me take care of the babies (creepy right). She could just tell that I loved every moment of it. Seriously that was my favorite job.
And all though Adalyn is still very little she is growing out of so many of the "newborn" things and it makes me sad some days. I seriously almost cried when I realized that she no longer fit into the baby clothes at the store. I now shop in the toddler section for her. No more binkies and as soon as I buy more sippy cups she won't have bottles either. I just packed up all of her baby toys and she no longer needs to be carried everywhere. My baby is growing up....
Ok thanks for letting me get that off my chest. ;) I know that it was super sappy and ironic since lucky for us there will be another newborn in our house in about 15 weeks give or take (that also means Christmas is in 15 weeks folks, just thought I would give you that quick reminder in case you want to get a jump start on shopping). AND if that wasn't enough I have started babysitting a newborn baby boy all day twice a week. I job share with another friend who does the other two days. We just started this week and it went GREAT! Both my friend and I were nervous about how it would go, especially with how our other kids would handle it. But Adalyn has just proved once again that she is growing up and she loved having the baby here as much as I did. It is amazing how quickly she has learned to care for babies and she already was trying to hold him, feed him his bottle and give him his binky. Ofcourse there were moments of her wanting to sit on my lap while I was holding him too. But overall she was very patient and soft with him. Hopefully this two day a week "practice" of being a big sister will help her adjust easier for when it is 24/7. :)
Well that is all for today, promise I have a pregnancy update coming soon (since I KNOW that is exactly what you all wanted to hear about) complete with a new picture that I finally had McKay take for me. Have a great day!
