Juniper is almost 9 months old. It's crazy to even type that. It seems like forever ago that we were walking out of the hospital in Missouri overwhelmed and excited with being new parents. Every day since then has been full of joy and constant changes in our life and in Juniper. This weekend was another change that showed us just how much she is growing up. You see, 9 months ago we walked out of the hospital with this little bundle.
She was so tiny in the car seat and weighted not quite 7lbs, she was swallowed in her newborn outfit and looked so fragile. She was and still is absolutely perfect.
This weekend we finally switched to her convertible car seat. You can technically keep your little one in the infant car seat we had until 35lbs, who I wonder would even want to lug a 35lb baby around I don't know! Anyway, we tried to hold off as long as we could but with it being cold and having to bundle her up she was starting to look like she was stuck. Personally I was having a a hard time carrying her around in the car seat.
So...we upgraded and now she looks like this:
It's hard to imagine that she is the same baby as above. Our little girl is growing up too fast! We should have this car seat for much longer than her infant car seat and soon enough she will be crawling into it all by herself. Tonight we took her for her first drive and she just kind of sat there, she really didn't know what to think about it! On the way home she did fall asleep and looked very peaceful and much more comfortable than in her old seat. I have to say it was a little sad packing up the infant car seat knowing she wouldn't use it again, just like all those clothes I have to take out of her dresser every week!
We are very exciting for the next few months knowing how much she is going to change and develop. She may grow up too fast but she will always be my baby.
