My baby is growing up...

For some reason this week has been very difficult for me to come to terms with how much Taylor is growing up. I go to the Club on Mon/Wed/Fri and all three days instead of staying in her carseat for the hour I am away, like she has in the past, when I return from my workout I find her playing on the floor with all the other little children. True she still cries to be picked up the moment she realizes I am in the room, but it's weird how she is not the "baby" of the nursery anymore. I have also moved her out of the infant carrier into a "big girl" carseat. When I put her in the car now, she sits up tall and smiles! Her naps aren't as long as they use to be and she goes longer in between which is fun to play more with her yet harder to get things done. She is turning into a little person, still has no desire to crawl but is so proud when she gets to pull a "high" chair up to the table when we go out to eat or gets to sit in the shopping cart. It seems like I was pregnant for forever, but the past 8 months with her here has gone by so fast!!! I can't believe she is closer to turning one than she is to zero! (as my brother's little girls call it)
