Straps have been adjusted to new heights. Blankets once used to wrap her in are now used as comfort-type blankets to grasp while she naps. Extra rings used to lower toys within her grasp have been removed. Every trip in the stroller must be one where she is sitting forward. And, finally, it is time for me to remove the cradle from our room.
Jane hasn't slept in the cradle for a while, but some groggy mornings still receive help in the form of the welcoming cradle beside my bed. She's too big for it, I realize this now (the revelation came a few mornings ago as she was kicking and playing and I could hear the cradle violently shaking ... I don't want to break it before my new little nephew gets to use it this November -- it belongs to him, after all).
It's all just a tiny bit sad. I suppose I never thought she'd grow so fast.

I've been thinking of this a lot also. Charlie is outgrowing all his little baby stuff and it makes me sad. He sits forward in everything now which means it's time to retire the swing and bouncer chair, and we'll now get the jolly jumper and walker out of the closet.
I personally liked chopped liver
