Then and Now

I've been organizing some of Noli's baby gear - preparing to donate or sell. She checks out the gear regularly, points and says 'when you were a baby' -- that's what I say to her when she is hanging around the stuff. It's so cute. She knows there are toys and such that she played with when she was a baby.

Anyway, she wanted to sit in her exersaucer and I obliged. She's a bit too big for it right now, though if I adjusted the height she may still fit. But, we're not going there :) I had to take a picture, which you'll see momentarily.

Then I remembered her first exersaucer experience two days after she came home -- December 8th, 2007. Here's the little squirt at 6 months.

6 months

Then a month later.
7 months


Where's my baby?

and today -- 2 years 8.5 months

So cute! I say keep the saucer and make it a required annual picture!

She's such a beautiful little girl.

Ah, the excersaucer! I remember watching her tool around in that "vehicle". I guess she'll be asking you for her first Corvette soon... 8~))

With my first little one...people would say "oh enjoy her now they grow up so fast" and I would say..oh yes they do...yadda yadda yadda. Now time really does zoom by and my babies aren't babies anymore.....someone stop time! I love Mala's idea of the annual picture...maybe Mala could do the same thing with her daughter's bikini (that was sooo funny)

Too cute Jackie! Isn't it amazing how quickly they grow up? She is such a doll.

Also, thanks for the words of support. I am very hopeful!

A bit of attitude in that last picture-reminds me so much of someone else we know!

Still as cute as ever, it seems like just yesterday I was looking at baby Noli in the exersaucer dreaming of what my Kyrgyz baby might be like :)
