Big Little Girl

It is amazing to me how big my little girl is getting... Just the simplest day to day tasks are changing and she is gaining her independence...


Eating:

She used to sit in her high chair and we would feed her...

Now she wants to sit at the table and feed herself!

Roadtrips:

Snuggled up in an infant carrier... I used to long for the day I didn't have to haul this heavy thing around and now...

She sits in her big girl seat and can see the world and it makes me so happy but so sad at the same time.

Mobility:

Just starting to wiggle her way around, back when I used to get so much housework done.

My side kick that can go wherever she wants, and usually is right behind me trying to be a 'big' helper!

Sleeping:

She used to have so much room in her bed...

Before you know if we will be making the move to a 'big girl' bed :(

So crazy how they go from being so little...

To so big right before our eyes... :)

Boys...

Being a mom to a little boy means...

Stepping on Legos, tiny swords, and other sharp little toys and not yelling curse words because there is the sweetest little face laughing at how funny it was when you screamed...

Buying over priced drinks (that don't even have alcohol)... One expensive drink for the kiddo and one for yourself because heaven forbid you drink out of anything else....

Spending most nights living with a Super Hero....

And the other nights... you are dressing up as well...

You always end up getting the biggest and strongest kisses...

You don't mind sporting a hat and shades for the day...

You start to play with 'boy toys'...

And you sit back and enjoy every second of the crazy ride...

Being a mom to a girl... TOTALLY different! lol But that's another post :)

We Did It

We successfully made it through our first week of  Preschool and Lyric did amazing... Daddy, Mommy, and Remedy not so much!

Lyric was so brave and loved meeting all of his new friends. He talked about his day at school for hours and he was gleaming with excitement.

I cried... oh how I cried. I cried when I woke up that morning while everyone was still asleep, just knowing that I was getting myself ready a little earlier so I could wake up my little man and get him ready. I cried a little after taking some pictures of him all dressed for his day with his new backpack filled with his new blanket, a sheet, and an extra set of clothes and his baby tiger in hand. I cried as he told me with such pride in his voice, "Now Mommy I am going to go in here and play and you can pick me up later, right?" "Right!". I cried for the first hour or so at work while co-workers asked with excitement, How was it? Did he do great, I bet he did he is so social! I cried, because my baby is now a big boy. He is doing big things. I cried because I did it... I raised a wonderful toddler who has a great self esteem and is brave. I cried knowing that this is the first of so many first days that I will watch my little man experience.

It was a wonderful day for Lyric and for that I cried a little more :)

Lyric's First Day!

The Boys

Sissy missed her Bubba
