Growing...growing...gone
Today I am packing away Sydney's 0-3 month clothes. Some of it still fits but most of it is the wrong season now. I can't believe that the clothes I folded over and over before she was here are now going to be stored until another little girl comes along. I am tempted to keep my favorite outfits out so I can look at them from time to time. She has so many sundresses for the summer that I think that I will be ironing more now than ever before. Adam and I just do the dryer fluff technique with our own clothes. It seems like every other week our house looks like a bomb went off in it. We are getting ready for a garage sale and I have been sewing curtains (with Shelley Pillow doing most of the work, really). I am hoping if I get rid of some of the extra stuff around our house will be be able to maintain it to my liking.
Sydney is getting more predictable lately. Eating less at night, ready to go to bed at 7:30, etc. Everything seems to be falling into place. I haven't exactly been faithful to follow the techniques in the books I bought about sleeping. All three of us have been sick and the week before she had her shots so I felt like it wasn't the best time...I wonder what excuse I will come up with next week?
I am excited about the summer. The best part about the summer I think will be that she will potentially sit up by herself and I can get rid of that HEAVY carrier. It is convenient to take into the grocery store and out to eat but it doesn't do much good when she just wants to be held the whole time. Once we get our other seat in the car we will be able to put the seats back further. I am still debating about the mirror to see her in the back since she is still rear facing. I have gone this long without one and I think it might be a distraction. She will start doing all sorts of cute things and I would be tempted to watch her instead of the road. I am not looking forward to the Mississippi heat. My dark leather seats can get pretty toasty.

I remember the first time I packed up Wilson's clothes. Of course, since he was 9.5 pounds at birth and over 11 at five weeks, the 0-3 months clothes were up before we even got to wear them it seemed like. Anyway I think I sat on the floor and cried the whole time I did it. It's so hard to believe how quickly they grow up. Now my problem is that he has outgrown the diapers that come in box packs and I used to use the diaper boxes to store the clothes in!
I still look at some of Cori's stuff and just can't believe she was ever that small. I am actually going to shadow box her first outfit she wore. It was a big day to get to finally wear clothes. I know it is silly, but I want to remember it all and it is so hard, b/c they grow up so fast. Enjoy each moment and write down as much as you can.
