Riley Bear

My daughter is three months old now, and time just keeps flying by. Every day brings something new for her, and i'm afraid to even blink and miss something! She is growing so fast, right before my eyes! On the 19th, she laughed for the first time. I have only heard her do it one other time since then, but sometimes her smile lights up her entire face and I can tell she is looking for her voice.

We recently moved her into her "big girl crib" from the cradle she has been sleeping in. Being the paranoid, new mom that I am, I have been camping out on the floor in her room. Even though we have the baby moniters, I just feel so much more comfortable being in the same room with her while she is so little. She does sleep much better in her crib, which is great for me! That five hour streak is well worth the wait.

Last night I ran out to Walgreens to get some formula, and although the cashier was polite is his own way he asked me if I was "expecting baby number two", to which I quickly laughed it off and just told him no. He then said, "Oh. Well, you just need to do a lot of sit ups."

That one hurt a little.

I'm sure I am not the only woman out there who has had this happen, in some way, shape, or form. For those of you who are not sure of the "protocol" in these situations, it's best to just not say anything. For all you know, you could have just insulted an overweight person!

Besides tactless strangers, life as a mom is amazing and I love every second of it!
