So Big

There were a number of things that happened this week which made me realize just how big Adelyn is becoming. While each milestone was very exciting, it also made me a little sad to see another stage coming to an end. One exciting thing was to see Addy actually eat something on her own for the first time. I got her one of those rings that has a little mesh bag on the end that you can put fruit it so she can feed herself. All she really gets out of it is juice but she really likes it and isn't very happy when it is all gone. She has tried pears and mangos and loved them both.
We have also started giving her a sippy cup with water. She doesn't know quite what to think of it, but she definitely likes playing with it and knows something is supposed to come out of it. The first time she actually got water out of it I don't think she had any idea how she did it, and she still isn't quite sure how to do it.
Today was finally a nice day so we went for a walk and for the first time Addy rode in her stroller without her car seat attachment. Now she faces the front instead of facing back at us. It's a whole new world for her on walks now. It's exciting and I can't believe our little baby is getting so big.
