February 2009: 3 months old
My baby is 3 months old today! To celebrate she woke up EXTRA early this morning!! It wasn't really her fault though. The apartment upstairs happens to have really weak floors above her nursery that are super loud and creaky and the neighbors are exceptionally heavy footed when they walk. Really I wouldn't have been able to sleep through that ruckus either. I have marked this occasion by packing up her newborn sized clothes because they stopped fitting her at the end of January. For some reason that is a really hard thing to do. Not because I will miss those particular clothes, but because I know she will never be that small again. I can remember how those impossibly small clothes seemed to swallow her whole the first weeks we were home from the hospital, and now they ride half way up her arms and legs. They remind me of being super preggo and holding them up to my large belly trying to imagine what baby Dunson was going to look like. This whole watching your babies grow thing gets easier sometime right?

ugh- not for me yet. I still have a hard time putting out their old clothes for the same reason.

Part of me wants to keep them for sentimental reasons (foreign concept for me, because I never keep anything that is not in use) and the other logical part of me says I need to resell them on ebay to buy her her next seasonal wardrobe. At least they are winter clothes so I know I get to hang on to them up through the end of summer before I could even list them :o)
