Alexandra has hit two huge milestones! She is now crawling and her two front teeth have pushed through!!! I'm loosing my baby! Her crawl is rather interesting (I'm going to try to get a video up soon). She goes from sitting, to on her arms, to dragging one leg and leaving the other still in sitting position. Strange.. I am extremely thankful her two front teeth are in, she has been working on those bad boys for at least a month.
All of Allie's milestones have been biter sweet though. With your first kid you "rush" through milestones because you look forward to them growing up, it's all new and exciting. With your last (and you KNOW it's your last) you almost don't want them to reach milestones. Of course I'm glad she is growing and thriving but I wish I could slow time during her baby stages. When you think back to a baby's first year it is amazing how much progress they make in such little time. Your born a little ball, all you know how to do is eat and cry. And you turn into this walking, talking little person in just 12 months! It's crazy how fast it goes. I am trying really hard to relic these milestones with Allie because I know it won't be long before she changes again! And since she is my last, I will never get to relive these stages again as a mother. I don't regret getting my tubes tied at all, I honestly haven't second guessed it once! But I think it would have been an easier first year if I didn't KNOW this would be my last child...Knowing that just makes it a little harder to swallow.
Enough philosophising, Julianna is calling me to help her make play-dough animals...and I'm getting the "Please Hurry Up" so...
