aw....They grow up so fast...

I feel like lo is just growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday he was so bitty and new. Now he's so big and has all the adorable fat roles! I just love it! It really is all just happening so fast though! Today he had his first "real" smiles and the start of laughs. It was the cutest best thing ever! But I found myself getting so emotional...I even got a bit teary eyed. (I know I'm a woosy) I Just get so emotional thinking about how fleeting it all is. Does anyone else feel a little emotional as lo reaches milestones? Am I just one big teary, over emotional freak? I just don't want my baby to grow up! I mean can't he be my baby forever?!? We can do that right? Lol

    I've felt the same way. Ever since he came home I've gotten teary just thinking about his first steps, his first day of school, and all his other steps to independence. I hate thinking that one day he will grow up and not need me anymore and I've made my husband promise not to let me be one of those crazy mother-in-laws that obsess over her adult son. However, I totally understand where my crazy mil comes from now.
    First Baby and a complete surprise.
    Hubby has decided to be team green so we are driving friends and family crazy!

    I'm the same way, especially when i look at pictures and can really see how much he's changed, its crazy how fast it all goes :( but then again all the fat rolls and new things he can do are just adorable, so that helps lol.

    You're definitely not alone! We did a trial run on moving him up a size in diapers. No leakage or marks on his thighs so he's now officially a size 2 :( They are getting so big and it's happening way too quickly!

    One of the books I received for DD's collection is "If I could keep you little." Pretty sure it's made me cry both times I've read it, and I am NOT a cryer. It makes me sad to think of her growing and not "needing me" more as time goes by and she's only 10 weeks! I think most of it is a little anxiety about going back to work in a couple of weeks, though. I'm afraid of what all I will miss and the time going by so fast.

    I definitely feel this way. I love watching him grow and the smiles melt my heart but I feel like he's getting too big too fast. And don't get me started about the future. I don't even want to think about that!

    Ditto for me. I love seeing all the new things my little man does. Plus, he's so cute and chunky now. I love it. :)

    Yes! I was thinking this yesterday as I was looking at all the pictures I have on my phone. I'm so sad that he's gotten so big so fast. I want to keep him little forever. Especially because he's mister independent already and doesn't cuddle as much anymore. But I do love the baby smiles and giggles. Ahh.

    Thank you! This thread made me stop once again and enjoy this crazy awesome time and cherish even the sleep deprived moments.

    I'm an emotional mess. I didn't use to be this emotional, but it's bad right now, I'm pretty sure I've freaked DH out a few times with my emotions. DS turned 2 on August 30th and cried most of the day because he is growing so much. I cried the first time DD smiled at me and the first time she slept through the night (that may have been out of pure happiness though), everything makes me cry. DH and I dropped the kids at my parents house Friday night so we could have dinner and a night to ourselves to celebrate our anniversary a few days early since it's Wednesday this year and I cried most of the night and the morning because I missed my babies, especially since DS didn't want us to leave without him for the first time ever.

    I feel the same way! I don't want DD to grow up and not need me anymore. I love her cute little chubbiness, I done ever want it to go away!

    Same boat here! DD is 2 months today, and I feel like she is going to be 1 then 5 then my age...in the blink of an eye. I know its the way life goes, but I sometimes I wish she would stay this way forever. I'm trying to enjoy every single moment with my baby girl.

    It really hit me today when we went to visit a friend and I held her newborn. He's nearly as big as DS, but he's so skinny and curled up and fragile, while DS was laying on the couch wiggling and cooing. It's like you don't notice them growing up until you have something to compare them to. I cuddled him extra hard when we got home.

    What everyone said. I like to blame lack of sleep, but I definitely cried when we moved out of the bassinet stage. I think it is the reality that we are crossing milestones off the list already. It feels way too soon :-(

    With DS1 I was wishing the newborn phase away because he was so difficult but this time it's just flying by. :(    I really didn't miss the infant phase with DS1 but I feel like I'll miss it this time, even though I know how fun it is as they get older, too.

    DH doesn't help when I get emotional about DS1 turning 4 already and he says "Only 14 more years and he's going to be leaving us!"  :(   If only he knew my boys are never leaving their mama...haha.

    Don't get me started. My now 13 month old, I would each month say "oh she's 3 months now, now she's 6 months, now 8 months!!

    Wtf?!?!? Where did time go. I cried on many occasions. Just watching her play I knew she was so damn cute and she wouldn't be small like this forever. I always cried to H about it. She's a freakin toddler now. NOT. FAIR.

    We have our "Irish Twins"
