After holding my Peanut until she was ready to go to sleep, I laid in bed thinking, "Where has the time gone? And why did it go so fast?" My teeny, tiny little baby is not so little anymore. She is growing so fast and although I am excited to see what life brings us now, it's still a little bittersweet. I remember the phase she had where she wouldn't sleep unless she was on our chests. I got so worked up and so scared she was never going to lose this habit. But it went just as fast as it came. Now, I get so emotional because she will not have it. She wants to sleep in her room, in her crib, across the hall from us. I know it seems a little silly but it already seems that she is developing more of a sense of independency. Sometimes I wish she was still so little and so new but lets face it, she's not. She is only going to get bigger, louder and sassier. Right now, we are just going to enjoy having a healthy and happy FIVE month old.
(Dear God... Please make time go slower. Thank you, April.)
On Saturday, September 12th, 2009, we took Alyssa to get her ears pierced. I must say we were going back and forth on the issue and we decided to go to the mall and see. My friend owns a Merle Norman and she gladly did it. Alyssa was all smiles while she marked her and then we she brought out the gun. Steph shot the gun and Alyssa jumped. She didn't cry until five seconds later, then we were all done. As soon as she was up in our arms she was fine. All smiles again, now she looks super cute with her bling. :)
