How does this happen?!?





Blasphemy, I tell you!

I will do anything to keep her a baby. Even if it means I will suffer crazy back issues in the future from carrying a 30 lb toddler around like shes a swaddled infant.

Speaking of a swaddled infant:



(That is my FOUR day old!)

Sooooo we are DRIVING to VIRGINIA tonight. She did very, very well the last time we drove there.



But she was ^this big^ and I could do this in the front seat of the car...




Not so much this time... She was two weeks old the first time, now she is 20 months. We are leaving around 9pm tonight (her bedtime) and luckily she is a 12-13 hour sleeper at night so she may sleep the entire way. (I probably just jinxed us.) She always falls asleep in her carseat so we are hoping for an easy trip. We shall see!

Aren't you glad I have a compulsion about taking pictures of her so I can really illustrate my stories? You would not have been able to visualize me changing her diaper in the front seat had you not seen that.

Disclaimer: please excuse the headband and large hoop earrings from the first picture. I'm embarrassed by myself. Also, that is her paci that is backwards in my mouth incase you were wondering.
