I know this has to happen at some point...but this momma just doesn't feel ready for him to not be a baby.
Okay, I should be there already. I mean he is already 20 months old and is closer to two than one (*tear).

Thoughts // Little Boy
My Ashyr is getting too big. We can't go anywhere without someone commenting on how he is starting to look like a little boy and not like a baby anymore.
I know this has to happen at some point...but this momma just doesn't feel ready for him to not be a baby.

So I'm curious. How do all you mom's out there cope with this horrible fact of life? It's inevitable that they will grow up, but why does it make me so emotional? It's even worse than when I pout about myself getting older and that's a real issue for me!
My mom (who is wise beyond wise) keeps telling me that it wasn't that hard for her. She just embraced us all growing up and thoroughly enjoyed every stage we were at. She even says that this time in her life is her favorite right now. That just blows my mind. She's 54, has 9 grandchildren, and feels younger and happier than ever.
I hope I become more like her, stop moping, and geniunely enjoy every stage with my children.

I definitely know how you feel. I keep very very old pictures of my boom boom in my phone because when I look at her I see a "little person" instead of my chubby cheek fat little baby. I can tell the difference even from last Christmas and her 2nd birthday which were only two months away.
It was sad seeing her little face mature but I embrace some of the new things that she is learning and how even in the midst of these new learning experiences she is still indeed a baby. One example is when I watch her insistently and very carefully brush her teeth. I see her little hands and arms trying to perfect a task like mommy and daddy and realize that I still have my baby after all:)
Moms know best. I wouldn't have given that advice, so you gave me something to take with me ;-)
Visiting from TALU
Hi Ashlee, I know what you're saying. You know what I got in the mail today? My oldest's SENIOR PORTRAITS!!!! And I look at the little boy in your arms, and I see my grown-up man as that little boy. Sniff...
Thanks for linking up with the TALU!
What a cutie! With my kids I always had some sadness when I saw the baby roundness start to fade away. The full cheeks giving way to more angular features, the soft baby body turning more strong and bony. sigh.
It's not easy. I wish that part could last much longer. (TALU)
