Is it just me or is baby girl growing up way too fast? Ok, it was my fault for saying I hoped she would grow up faster just a few months back but she really didn’t have to take me so seriously. It’s not like she takes me seriously when I tell her to pick up her toys or not spit out food but this, she’s all like “WHEEEEE LOOK AT ME GROW MOMMA!! Before you know it, I’ll be off to college and being angsty and bringing boys home SO FUN!”
She’s starting to want to explore the world all by herself and every time I pick her up, she struggles like a wild stallion on meth and I just want to hold her tight and tell her that not too long ago, she wanted me to hold her all the time. Now it’s “WALK, WALK” while pointing to herself furiously.
She’s also asserting herself a lot more these days, choosing what she wants to wear and running away when I pick something she doesn’t quite fancy. Like this fashion disaster she has on. I wouldn’t have picked lilac stripes with flowery pink tights and cyan crocs (yes, I know that they are boy’s shoes; Tru used to wear them) but I’ve learnt not to squash her unique sense of style. I mean, look at Lady Gaga – I bet she wore something like this out at some point as a child.
So express away, my child, just as long as you don’t leave the house wearing nothing but raw beef. Your father will have a cardiac arrest and I will have to fight the urge to eat you.
I was just talking to a new mom last week and she was asking if the madness of having a newborn subsides. So I said the exact thing other moms said to me when I just had a newborn. Enjoy these moments of babyness because they grow up way too fast and one day you’ll wake up and realize that your sweet little baby is now a grimy, sweaty toddler. That’ll be fun.

Hmmm, your little girl has the Japanese style of dressing boldly, yes? She really is such a smiley, lovely little girl!

so true… i miss the babyness of my 19-mth-old son. as i watched him snooze last night, it dawned upon me that he has doubled in length since his infant days. and that he has lost his chubby chunks. they DO grow up too fast!
My sentiments exactly esp when the boy starts to talk back to me, which is getting alot more often these days. I do wish that we could just have a pause button on these precious years.. Btw, she is really a cherubic little cutie.

Makes you want to have another baby right away isn’t it?

So true so true..
I can only find her babyness (or whatever thats left) when she is sleeping in her crib.
Or how she likes to pretend to cry like a baby in arm when I wrap her up in her towel after her shower.
I see that Kirsten has quite a few lots of Crocs… what size is she wearing?

How true! Treasure the moments of our little ones’ babyness! They just grow up too fast… not so long ago, my boy was a sweet little infant who loves being craddled. Now, he can’t wait to wriggle out of my arms and crawl around the house. I’m starting to miss those times when he was younger!
