DS has started to imitate noises. A few times he has imitated the sounds to us saying "I love you"...it makes my heart melt into a puddle. Also, the boy wants to walk...if I hold him under his arms he tries to put weight on his feet and take steps. My baby is growing up too fast!

I feel ya, my dd turned one two weeks ago. It's surreal! This past week she is walking more than crawling. I love seeing her walk , but it makes me sad. She is much more toddler than baby

My first baby takes my second baby upstairs every night to start bedtime by reading him his first book. They call to us when they're ready for DH or I to come up.
My last baby turns 1 on Thursday....I'm surprisingly ok with it. It's been an incredibly hard year with her not sleeping & many issues. But I'm really enjoying her lately. On the other hand DD3 is gonna start K in the Fall & turns 5 in June. She seems so grown up lately...A funny conversation we had today:
DD3: "we don't love stuff, we love our daughters". (A long time ago when they broke something of mine & they were upset & I told them "it's okay, I don't love stuff, I love my daughters." It's been repeated back to me lots Me: "what if someone doesn't have daughters?" DD3: "that means they are poor."

M is so fun and full of giggles. His little personality comes out more and more each day. Someone who has seen M on and off since he was a six weeks commented today about how she remembers him just crying and so sad when he was a newborn and how fun and happy he is now.
Today a new baby started at daycare. My baby is no longer the baby of the bunch. There's a squishy little 2 month old and my kiddo is going to be 5 months on Friday. How did this happen?!
One of my BFFs just weaned her DD, and we were talking about how sad it made her. I started thinking about DS3 weaning and it hit me that knowing I will never nurse a baby again will kill me. I have been pregnant, breast feeding, or both for 7.5 years. The thought of that phase being over makes me want to sob uncontrollably.
Another mom in the "I can't believe DD is turning 1 soon" camp. I still remember when she was 4 months and I was crying to H that I wanted the 1st year to go quickly because I was feeling so overwhelmed with all her medical issues, therapy, and doctor appointments. Now I get teary-eyed thinking back and wondering how did the year go by so fast?! And today we found out that she's moving up to the toddler room in June. My baby is going to be a toddler...I still can't wrap my mind around that!
