((sigh)) I cursed myself. I remember when she was first born. I was stressed and scared beyond recognition, I muttered everyday "I can't wait until she's older!". And now that she's here......I don't like it. It scared me more than when she was a itty bitty baby.
I shouldn't be all negative about her getting older I guess. We have a lot of things to look forward to. Now she is more appreciative of her surroundings, so going to the zoo will be our next "first". Or even the Ta.mpa Aquarium, or and of course Dis.ne.y Wo.rld. I wonder if the big characters will scare her? I look forward to her saying "mama". She's calling me "dada" right now. Yeah. She's mixed up.
So you mama's out there, how do you feel about you little one growing up on ya?
And now for your viewing enjoyment and your reccommended dose of "Lilian cuteness" here are some pictures.
Larissa I feel the same way, exactly word for word how you said it. I remember when Mason was still a newborn I always said that I couldn't wait until he gets older...and as I look over at him right now in his paypen standing up in it...I can't believe that was only a mere 7 months ago. Where does the time go? Does it ever slow down?
ReplyDeleteI see changes in him everyday..and it hits me at the weirdest times. Like in the mornings when he wakes up and I walk around the corner in his room, and see him STANDING there. A wave just hits me and I realize what is happening, he is growing and growing and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes it's even in his facial expressions, it's hard to explain but I know you understand! He will be 8 months on the 8th...gosh!!
But I am also looking forward to things like you are...I can't wait to take him to the zoo, Sea World, and when we can save up enough money- Disney as well! I can't wait to take him to the park and watch him laugh and swing and slide down the slides. So, even though it breaks our hearts...it may not be so bad after all. :)
O my gosh- I just cannot believe how big that lil munchkin is getting!!
ReplyDeleteI soo feel the same way- everyday I tell DH that I don't want her to grow up anymore. I wish time could just stop & she'd be my sweet little baby that I could hold & cuddle for hours. Now she only wants to do that if it's bedtime LoL On the other hand though I am looking forward to all the wonderful things the future has to hold.
I can't wait to take her to the zoo or the aquarium where she'll actually care instead of just looking around at everything but the animals. I can't wait to take her on the kiddie rides at the amusement park. I can't wait to take her trick or treating & the buy half the candy from her so she doesn't eat it all (my mom did that for me).
There is just too much fun stuff to hold on to the past of what they were like or hold on to the right now of how they are because there's even more fun than we're having right now to come. Hard to believe? Yes it is LoL
