Krystal Burgers, Babies, and Vacation......

I was sitting here earlier watching Lucy eat a Krystal burger and something about it made me sad. The way she sat there eating it reminded me that she's not a baby anymore. She wasn't cramming it into her mouth and making a mess. She just held it in both hands and took small bites like a normal person. She's really turning into a big girl. She knows so much and has opinions about everything. It seems like yesterday that I was videotaping her rolling over.

Three people I know have become either parents or grandparents in the last 24 hours, and I can't tell you how many pregnant women I know. I think it's time for Lucy to have a sibling! There's nothing like knowing three thousand pregnant ladies to turn baby fever into a full blown sickness.

I am really looking forward to our vacation next month. We may not have chosen the most toddler-friendly destination (New York City!) but I'm just so happy to be spending a whole week with my husband and my daughter- just the three of us, with no work, no distractions, and and as little stress as possible. We're taking Lucy to American Girl for lunch and to look at the dolls- and who knows, maybe Santa will get some ideas while we're there! We're also planning on going to see the Cardinals play the Mets. Other than that we don't really have any huge plans. I guess we'll just take things one day at a time. There are a ton of children's museums there so we'll probably spend a day at one of them. I'm just so excited- a big city with so much to do, and some quality family time with my husband and this little cutie........
