Going through baby stuff

[CurlyQ284]

I'm planning to take a bunch of clothes and toys to Once Upon a Child and I was going through Henry's old clothes to set aside a few things to keep. I found the outfit we brought him home from the hospital in and he was so tiny. This is next to some current PJs. ::sob::
This is hard. I loved the baby stages.

Omg his whole body was the length of his ARM!

I hate putting away baby clothes for this very same reason. I am not at all sentimental and it still gets me every time.

The other night I was holding DS after he woke up in the middle of the night. He was asleep on my chest and basically standing on my legs. I was thinking about how I used to hold him in the glider as a newborn and he would sleep like that and his legs didn't even go down to my stomach. Then I was crying 80% because of sentimentality and 20% because it was 3am.

Oh and some kid pictures because that's a rule right?

[lime]

Aw, that's pretty sweet.

I am normally not sentimental at all, but that would make me sniffle a bit.

Ughhhh the other night I held him like a baby but I had to sit on the floor cross legged and his legs were dangling off my leg. He is so huge. now he will scramble into my lap and say "baby?" But he's not a baby anymoooorreeeee. He's huuuuuge.

Aw, my boy is almost 2. We had that same NB sleeper, and we have the same Thomas pillow in the toddler bed now.

Sometimes I think about the fact that there will be a last time that I cradle my Henry in my arms. I probably won't know it at the time, but at some point, he'll just be too big/old and while there will be future hugs and whatnot, it won't be the same.

Dude, I know! Time flies. My BDC was doing then and now pics the other day and I got all misty at our chubby cheeked babies that have now slimmed down and grown up and grown hair. Lol.

Oh god. I can't even.
I'm totally going to be the creepy mom from "I'll love you forever"

I know, I've been having that same thought a lot lately about my little boy. It's so sad to know that one of these times I'll pick him up, put him down, then never pick him up again.

Thomas has a blanket now. He has to be tucked in. Lol
Even though he's not a baby he's still too cute for me to handle.

Thank you!

He sure is a cutie! I love that he's sitting there all proud in his big boy bed, too.

Isn't it just amazing how much they grow!

Leo was a preemie so looking at his coming home outfit is just amazing to me.
