High chair and low mattress

Abrie FINALLY has a high chair of her own!!

It's ridiculous how long it has taken us to get a new one for her. I threw ours away when we were leaving the apartment because I figured we would just wait until she was sitting upright and then get her a new one-- since ours was so crusty anyway. Bad idea. I've been putting it off and putting it off, but the poor baby needed her own high chair. I'd been so stubborn about finding one for dirt cheap or even for free off of craigslist or at our consignment shop, but to no avail. We finally decided to get the cheapest one at Target, and we really like it. Not to mention, Abrie LOVES it and she looks so darn adorable in it! She loves eating her 'appeteasers' (her fruit and veggie puffs, and her new thing-- the little crunchers that Faith always found irresistible.. Abrie does too!). I had to do a double take tonight while getting dinner ready because it just seems surreal to me to see my little baby in her high chair.

We also took her crib mattress down this afternoon. The little girl is standing up in her crib (and on everything else) now, and it worries me to think that she could do a flip out and over the side of the crib. I ended up moving the crib altogether too to the other side of her room, because it was right by an electrical socket in its original spot. And, with the mattress down at the level of the socket, I knew this would be too much of an appeal to our little Breeze. The girl is quite interested in sockets... and everything else that she shouldn't be into these days!!!

Our baby will officially be a BIG cousin already by tonight or tomorrow. Her little cousin, Molly, is scheduled to be here very soon. AND, Abrie's going to be a big cousin for the 2nd time in just a few more months too. 'Tiny Guy' is scheduled to be born right around her first birthday!! I can't believe that my baby girl is already a big girl cousin.
