Not a wittle baby anymore...
So gnomemom's thread got me thinking about how quickly time has gone by and suddenly our LO's are starting to act less and less like a newborn. What do you miss most that your LO doesn't do anymore(or as much)? Also what do you love about them getting older as well?
K will not lay on my chest and fall asleep anymore. I spent so much time doing Kangaroo care in the hospital after my csection and then for the first few weeks home. I miss it soo much. I will occasionally lay her on my chest and she just wants to play! Not all bad but I miss cuddling that way!
I love how she has become facinated by the world around her. She can actually entertain herself long enough for me to be able to unload the dishwasher and eat a sandwich! All the while I hear her laughing and her reflection in the mirror on her play mat.

Re: Not a wittle baby anymore...
I was just thinking about this the other day and getting a little teary eyed..I also miss the chest sleeping! C is so active and alert, all she wants to do is move now, the days of dozing on mama are gone
I also miss carrying her in my sling, she doesn't dig it as much anymore because she wants to face the world. Her neck strength isn't quite there yet for forward facing...hopefully next month she'll love it again when she can see everything.
These past few weeks have been amazing seeing her grow and change though, she's really started talking to herself more which is the most adorable sound in the world.
I'm with you -- also missing sleeping on the chest. Once in a blue moon he'll still do it and it's heaven... just not often enough for me
I also miss his "Keaton - out" moments, as we called them. After I fed him, he'd give a big stretch, then kind of collapse and pass out on my chest with the sweetest little expressions. He had these adorable pursed lips afterward. So cute.
My favorite new thing is that he's staying content for longer periods. He was a colicky baby, so the fact that I can now get 40-60 good minutes in a row out of him is just miraculous to me. Also love his smiles -- and now giggles -- when we play airplane. Best noise in the world
I have definitely been thinking my little guy is not such a newborn anymore also! He seems so grown up all of a sudden. I don't miss much form his newborn days, because we can still get him to fall asleep on us. That is most definitely my favorite part, I hope he keeps doing it for a while longer...
Just in the past few days he has learned to pick up and play with toys on his own, and he rolled over for the first time! I feel like he learns a new trick every day at this point, it is crazy! He just looks and acts so much more grown up. And also as others had mentioned, he can now entertain himself long enough for me to eat a meal myself, that is very nice!
My first thought was also that I miss him passing out on my chest. I just miss him being a little ball of cuddly warmth all the time. Now he's always grabbing for my hair or earrings and kicking around like crazy.
I love seeing him do something new every day. He will sit and "talk" back and fourth with me now and smiles and sequels at things I say which makes me feel hilarious, haha!
Every time I look at this picture I want to cry. She was so tiny. I miss that she used to never cry as long as she was being held by me or would stop instantly when I picked her up.
