5 hit me hard!  I still can't believe it when I look at Jack.  At least once a week I think to myself, "he is 5?"  Where does the time go?

Love the baby picture!  Too cute...ah,memories.

Poor mommy!  Five years sounds like a long time, but it really isn't.

I've have been pretty emotional the last month or so over the same thing.  I'm not sure why it is getting to me, but it is.  I'm just wrote this on my blog a couple weeks ago...

Now, I have never understood why people make such a big deal about birthdays and getting older.  I actually love celebrating my birthday each year, and I?ve never seen it as a negative thing.  Until now.  It is so much fun seeing them change and learn and grow,  but I don?t want my kids to grow up so fast!  I just don?t.

joseys!  That just made me cry!! 

I want them to be teeny little babies forever.  I love watching them grow and learn but am so heartbroken at the same time.

Oh, I know.  It is so bittersweet.  Every night when I rock Cohen to sleep, I just don't want to put him down because I know it won't last much longer.  On one hand, you can't wait until they can take care of themselves, and on the other hand, you want them to need you forever.

Each were two weeks old before I'd put them in the baby swing, maybe a month old.  I cried like a baby because something else other than my arms soothed and rocked them.  I don't think the (Fisher Price Aqua swing) music helped either....
