My big girl just keeps getting bigger. This is a fact I’m both immensely proud of, because I have been able to nourish her well, and also completely meloncholy about, because it is all happening so fast. I recently put away her tummy time mat, because she just crawls around it now.

I also put away her baby bathtub since she somehow manages to splash to the ceiling when in it. That means she has had her first baths in the big girl tub. She took to it like a little fishie.

I bought her a big girl umbrella stroller. Rafael took one look and said, “No. Those strollers are for big kids.” Yes honey, big kids like our girl.

My big girl even took her first airplane flight last weekend. We sat in the last row, sandwiched between the window and a very pleasant grandfather. Giana charmed the flight crew for a few minutes, then promptly fell asleep after takeoff (and for the rest of the flight!).

Life is so amazing with our girl, and every day gets better and better.
