A Tale of Two Babies (or, believe it or not, you really will miss that newborn baby cry!)

This week I took my mom to Babies-R-Us to get some goodies. I picked out my own toy for the first time. We were wheeling past a display and I reached out and grabbed a "Take-a-Long Taggies" toy. Of course Mommy had to buy it for me, since I picked it out myself! Mostly I just loved chewing on the price tag while we were shopping. But Mommy was happy to see that I still enjoy playing with it even though she cut off the tags.

My new Take-a-Long Taggies toy!

While we were in the check out line we heard a baby crying behind us. Mommy says it was the "unmistakable newborn baby cry." When I was two weeks old a nurse told my mom and dad that they would miss that sound someday; Mommy thought she was crazy! But as soon as Mommy heard that sound in the store she realized that lady was right - she does miss my newborn baby cry! She looked at the tiny 3-week old crying baby and she couldn't believe how much I have changed since I was just 3 weeks old. I think it made her a little sad but mostly she is just so happy to watch me grow and change and learn new tricks every day!

Here I am when I was about 3 weeks old...

And look at me now!
