From Turtle to Bird

Today is Miley's first day in the Bird classroom at daycare. Every 6 months the kids move to the next room up. She is no longer in the "Baby" room aka The Turtles, she is now pre-toddler/crawler in the Birds. I don't know why but I was a little sad. It's just another milestone that has come. She is no longer a little baby :( The babies in her group all move together but the teachers stay. Miley's been with the new teachers a little bit but not more then a few hours. This morning all the other "Birds" were very fussy and crying and Miley just looked around like "What is going on here, why is everyone so upset?" The poor teacher was running around like a crazy person trying to figure out who takes pacifiers, who eats what, etc. Miley's group also got a new member because her friend Belle is gone. He is about 1 year already and his poor mother looked sooooo concerned about all the craziness. Not a very good day to start daycare. I probably should have talked to her a little to calm her fears but I was dealing with my own emotions. My baby isn't the littlest at daycare anymore. I remember looking at the Birds when Miley first started thinking how big they were. Now new Turtle moms will be thinking that about my Miley.

In other news, Saturday afternoon Miley sat up by herself for the first time. She is now an expert on how to get from laying of her tummy to sitting on her butt :). She is also trying to lift herself up and she can get up on her knees. Still not crawling but she does get around.
