No More Infant Carrier

Tears swell up as I consider another milestone, packing away the infant carrier.
Last night, we read the book, adjusted the straps, made sure all was properly installed and fitted Hope into her new car seat. This was like putting her in her crib and not the bassinet anymore. I just can't explain it, but Im not ready for her to get so big so fast.
When we sat her in the new seat she clapped those sweet bare feet together, toched every strap and arm rest then smiled like she knew she was a big girl.
So at seven and a half months old she past thirty inches and weighs right at 22 lbs and that calls for the big girl car seat.

Girl, I so know how you feel!! Richie and I were the same way when we put Ireland in her "big girl" carseat for the first time. That is when we both decided we were ready for another!! :-) All of this growing up is so very bittersweet. At the end of this month, Ireland will be turned around facing forward in the carseat...another milestone!! We are certainly savoring and enjoying every moment.

Yes, my dear, times goes by so quickly. Try not to blink because if you do, she will be graduating from high school and you will wonder where the time went. Enjoy every precious moment you have with her.
Hugs, Mom
