February 21 - Not quit big enough yet...But we are in no hurry!!

So today we tried out the jumper that Daddy had put together. It is pretty sweet, but, our feet don't quite touch the ground yet! Still fun to play in though, and mommy and daddy can make it bounce! It is great because you can hang toys all over it, plus, the seat swivels 360 degrees with 4 play stations around it. It plays music, lights up, everything. Soon enough, those feet will touch the ground, but, Mommy is in no hurry. Mommy is okay with just letting the baby be small. Don't know if any of you listen to country but I heard this song on the way home the other day. It's by Darius Rucker and it is from the Dad's point of view but that didn't stop me from bawling pretty much all the way from work to the daycare. They probably thought something horrible happened when I walked in to pick her up. But, now whenever anything happens with Alaina this song just pops in my head.

"It Won't Be Like This for Long"

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Laying there in bed listening
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laughin'
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It wont be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the aisle
And he'll raise her veil
But right now she's up and cryin

And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watchin' her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows

It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is
gonna be All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's tryin' to hold on

It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long

Now, if you are a mommy, even if you aren't, tell me you aren't crying right now? Yeah...that is what I thought...
So, now that I am crying again... that is about all for today. Tonight we went to Red Lobster for
dinner because we had a gift card. Apparently it was bring your baby to Red Lobster night. There were...at least six I think. They ran out of carseat slings!! So that was fun but other then that, pretty boring day. Just spending time with my baby, who thankfully, is still a baby. :o) So this dishes can wait because it won't be like this for long...
