I'm a bit sad.

I can barely pick N up anymore. At 38ish pounds, reaching over, putting my hands under his arms and lifting him up hurts.

I can barely cuddle with him on the glider. He?ll still lie on my chest but with his weight I can?t do it for long because I like to breathe and with his height I have rest my chin on his head.

I miss my baby. I love my boy, but I miss my baby.

Me too. M was 37 lbs at her doctor's visit a week ago. She's LONG now too, I feel like she's as tall as me sometimes.

If only we could fold them up into a compact baby-like form. But that'd be impractical, and kind of cruel I guess.

..and this is why we still cuddle G to sleep every night. As long as it doesn't mess up his naps at school (which it doesn't) ...I want to hold him while I still can and he'll still let me....I know this is just around the corner Crying

For real, Emma really must be tiny. She weighed 28 1/2 pounds at her 3 year check a couple weeks ago! And picking her up now is tiring, I can't imagine how much harder it's going to be when she catches up to N and M.

I wish there was a way to keep them as babies until we were ready for them to grow up.

I'll let you in on a little secret: (not that you're close but...) teenager hugs are still pretty cool!! (my DS is 15.5 and still hugs me - big bear hugs!! Even around his friends...his friends think it's cool!)

I hear ya! Connor has been having some sleep issues and I've been going in and rocking him...I always come out and tell my husband that it feels like I was rocking a giant.
