Feeling a little sad.... missing my baby

MommyToAshley wrote: Warning... big whine coming....

I was watching Ashley today, and I just kept wondering what happened to my baby. She was sitting on my lap, naming off the letters on my t-shirt. Then, she was going through a book pointing out the numbers, shapes and colors. She can even recognize some words such as Ashley, Mommy, and Daddy. She just grew up waaaaaaay toooo fast. I thought she would still be more of a baby at this age. I keep telling her that there is plenty of time for her to grow up, but it doesn't help, she continues to grow more every day. Am I the only one really missing their baby? Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of her and I love that we can play together more now... but I expected her to stay a baby just a little while longer.

Sorry DeeDee, I know how you feel. Brianna has grown up over night it seems like. She now knows that she is to sit on the potty chair before her bath... even if she does not go potty (she never has). But she sits there and waits for her bath to fill up. She is growing so fast that I actually miss her being an infant, waking up in the middle of the night.

At least you know that your baby girl is growing good and learning. She seems to be advanced for her age. That is great!!!!!

5littleladies replied: I totally know what you mean Dee Dee. I'm missing my little baby so much these days-she grew up before my eyes. It's always hard to let them grow up-Why don't they stay little longer?

I guess this may be part of the reason that I have baby fever again. Maybe it's time for you too??

A&A'smommy replied: awww ((((BIG HUGS))) im sorry your missing your baby!!! Its amazing how fast they grow and how smart they get!!!

paradisemommy replied: yep..i totally agree with you..i can still remember clear as day coming home from the hospital with him and it seems like over night he turned into this little man. i agree with jennifer..maybe this is a sign for you and tlc dad to get busy

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Aw Dee Dee. I know exactly how you feel. When did they grow up and get so smart on us? Just this afternoon Jade knew we were going out and she brought my shoes to me. At this very moment she is hugging my arm and putting her head on my shoulder saying Awwww. She's getting tired so we will we be taking a trip upstairs in a few. About three day after Jade was born we were standing in an elevator at the hospital with another couple. I think their child was 2 or 3. They looked at Jade and asked me how old she was. When they heard how old they smiled and said that it goes fast. I smiled back and couldn't imagine that at all. She is now 18 months. Like a flash she has grown up. It might very well be time to start trying for another. I just don't really know if I'm ready yet.

CantWait replied: I know they grow so fast, I still can't believe I have an 8 YEAR OLD
Maybe it's time to have another one LOL Seriously, big hugs to ya, I know how hard it is, it really is bittersweet

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Awww Dee Dee she will always be your little baby!

ediep replied: wow! That Ashley continues to shock me at how smart she is!!!! I can't believe what a big girl she is!! I, sometimes miss my baby, but I think Jason is so much more fun now and he seems so much happier that he con communicate what he needs.

Kaitlin'smom replied: aww they do grow way to fast! I remember holding her when she was a few weeks old and now to see how smart and beautiful she is just amazes me. Maybe its time for another, I bet Ashley would make a great big sister!

jen replied: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I'm sorry! I can only imagine how hard that would be! On one hand you are happy they are growing, healthy and smart but on the other you want your little baby to hold and love and cuddle and be dependant.....She is a beautiful little girl!!! She will always be your little baby Ashley! So all this TTC talk got ya thinking!!

coasterqueen replied: No you are not the only one. Kylie is changing so much every day that it makes me so sad. I just want to hold her in my arms again and admire my little baby

aspenblue1 replied: I feel the same way sometimes. I just can't believe how quickely she grew up.

kimberley replied: it is so bittersweet to watch them grow. (((((BIG HUGS))))) to you and all the other mom's missing their newborns.

MilMunchMOM replied: way to go Ashley!!! Sad to see the baby grow up and proud to them do it so well!

California Girls replied: As much as I love having 2 little girls to love now, Baby Zoey only makes my 2 year old look SO BIG! She seems so heavy now and strong and smart and self-sufficient. I know she has a lot of growing up to do still, but she's come so far so fast. I just try to make time for those special moments that we love to share together. Like holding her in my lap and reading books. And singing "Muffin Man" over and over and over while riding in the truck.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I will have a cry with you! Maddie will be 4 in a few months and I remember her being a tiny little baby in my arms like it was yesterday. Fortunately for me she has been real clingy lately and has been wanting to sit in my lap (what is left of a lap anyway). She wants to love on me and wants me to hold her. I am enjoying it to the max. I know these days are limited once again. Ethan will be here tomorrow and it is going to make her look and seem so much older. It makes me sad. DH almost cried yesterday. He said "Her days are numbered as an only child...but she will always be my baby." Tell me he won't be partial.

Sorry to ramble, but here are some
