My niece turns 7 this year. 7! I can still remember when I got the call from my brother telling me she was born! I can remember my first time holding her in my arms. My first niece. Such a sweet heart.
Now I'm watching my own kiddos grow. Eli is SO big! Watching home videos of him when he was an infant is so breathtakingly heart wrenching. I hear him cry on video as he is poked and prodded in the hospital. I reach for him and realize it's a toddler I'm embracing and not the baby I so want to comfort.
Anna is growing so quickly. Too quickly! Where did her infancy go? With all the running around she's grown up in her car seat! I'm baby hungry again and she's barely 4 months old! They grow too quickly and it's passing me by right in front of my face. How can a stay at home mother miss so much?

I totally know what you mean...I can't believe that I'm turning 29 next week and that we're in our last year of our 20's. Sometimes I still think I'm that 18 year old girl, and honestly, I kinda feel that way. It's funny how time flies and pretty soon you're looking back and going "what the heck happened?". But, we have awesome memories. Even though we've gotten older, there's so much more enrichment in our lives.
I think about having this little baby, and I think about how he'll only be little for just a short while, and then pretty soon he'll be the size of Emmy. It really isn't fair...but that's why we have so many right? We love it when they're little! :)
I COMPLETELY agree with this post. It seems that ever since I graduated from high school time has started going faster and faster with each year, especially since Grant was born. Nora is only a week old and I am already saying, "where has the time gone, your already a week old." so sad.
I can't believe how fast time goes by either. It makes me sad some days but memories made in what seems like a blink of an eye are wonderful. I often wonder how time seems to go by for my little ones. Katie thinks that 20 minutes is a long time. I just hope that although the time goes fast for me I can help make memories for my girls!
So true. I find myself telling Josh how sad that they will be grown up so soon and not little-then I realize he is at work all day on some satrudays and hardly sees them-So why do I get so sentimantal like I am not here at all when I am.
I think It is just painful to let go of our Babies.
