So we found this chair

Well, my mom found this chair. It just happens to be the perfect size for little monster babies like Lily. Now that she's learning to sit unassisted, that's all.she.does and if she's not sitting up she is steaming mad. This past weekend was the first time I've been able to let go of her without her toppling over immediately. She'll go strong for a good 20 seconds now!

I don't know why, but looking at these pictures gets me all teary eyed. She's doing it... all by herself. Once less thing she's dependent on mama for. She's becoming a little person. Every morning she wakes up a little bigger, a little more developed, smarter, and more independent. ::insert a huge sigh:: I look into those big brown eyes and wonder what she's thinking. This little stranger that's stolen my heart, wrapped me up into a big ball of emotions, transformed our lives into something unfathomalby beautiful. She's morphing into a little girl right in front of my eyes. If she only knew what she's done to us...

  3. Oh, I just want to pinch her arms! Adorable!

    I know what you mean about getting teary eyed because it's one less thing she's dependent on you for. They just develop so quickly at this age! DS is going to be 6 months old on the 28th. He's not *quite* sitting up on his own yet, but the first time he rolled over on his own I cried. It was a great moment. It made me so proud! But it also made me a little sad because he was growing up right before my eyes! One day it's rolling over on his playmat, the next it's driving away to college in a car! I just want to savor every minute of it :)
