a shopping milestone

Yesterday Hope did something Reesie's asked about since the day we brought her baby sister home from the hospital.

She rode in the front of the shopping cart!  My arm is so grateful not to be lugging the car seat into the store with us.  And big sister was beside herself excited.  She tousled Hopie's hair, patted her head and gave her several headlock hugs from behind.  Little sister laughed and laughed.

If that's not breaking news, I don't know what is. :)
