Shopping Cart.

So today was a little milestone for us -- and just one more reason why I have an awesome daughter! We did some shopping -- we went to Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Babies R Us..you know, the usual. Well, I decided that I didn't want to take the stroller in and out of the car each time. So I decided to put her in the cart for the first time. Not the little grey or red buckets that are attached to the carts (like usual) but the BIG girl part of the cart. And she LOVED it. She caused such a ruckus in Babies R Us as we were walking thru the aisles. She was so proud of herself :) And so was I. She kept grabbing the metal bars in front of her and jerking her body back and forth -- and then she'd start giggling like she'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. And then the happy baby babble would start. This went on for almost an hour, never ceasing and almost getting louder after each cycle. Everyone kept looking at us as we walked by and not a single person could resist smiling at her. *sigh* I truly feel blessed to call her mine.

The whole reason we were at Babies R Us was to stock up the reserves again -- can't believe how low I got this time. I literally had enough formula for one more bottle and maybe 3-4 days worth of diapers. Pampers was running a great promo, buy 2 boxes and get a $20 GC..plus save $8 if you bought a big box of wipes too. *cha-ching* Not to mention, I got an email for a "member's only" sale going on today, so my jars of baby food were 20 for $10 bucks, making them .50/each. Definately had to stock up for the rest of the month. We're on to our 2nd round of 2nds -- so many tasty choices this time! Still have a few left to try from the first batch, but I'll mix those in somehow.

Went ahead and gave her just plain Jane Winter Squash tonight and she scarfed it down. Something about the way it smelled made me slightly jealous. I feel like she almost eats better than we do some days :)

Last but not least, her sleeping habits are quite extreme lately. I find her just randomly "passing out" in the most compromising positions. One minute she's being loud and destructive -- the next, you turn around and she's literally passed out. Like narcoleptic style. Observe. She seems to be content though. haha

Well, we're off to the Jones' again this weekend -- MeeMaw and PeePaw enjoy the time they get to spend with us and the little -- I know Gamma and Gampa Cartier are anxious for their turn. We're doing our best to schedule a trip down. Miss you both xoxo
