Sunny 9 for 2005 January 25

I got a flyer in the mail for Babies R' Us. Apparently, they are having a 30% off sale on their baby things including high chairs. Plus with the flyer you get a $10 off coupon. I think I am going to get a high chair tonight or tomorrow. Next month we are starting Lily on rice cereal, so she needs a high chair soon. I can't believe that in just a few months she will be eating regular food (sorta). My baby is already making steps towards not being a baby anymore. Once I get used to her at a stage, she gets bigger on me. It is fun, but sometimes I find myself looking at her newborn clothes with a smile on my face remembering how cute and tiny she used to be. (She still is, but just smaller back then.)

Lily is at a really fun stage right now. She is getting much stronger, and is able to stay awake for longer periods of time now, making it easier for me to run errands. She is getting a lot more personality and playfulness. Lately, her favorite thing to do is stick out her tongue, or to buzz her lips as spit comes dripping out. We also borrowed a saucer from my sister-in-law. (You put them in a ring, and there are toys all around the saucer and the chair spins around.) At first she freaked out every time we put her in there (the spinner with beads in it scared her) but now she likes it, and she can be occupied for about 10 mins with that before getting bored or lonely.

Mostly she is so pleasant and happy with a toothless smile, and much more interactive. She is just too cute for words.
