I'm constantly thinking about how quickly my children are growing, how precious these moments are, and how I never want to forget them. I frequently just stop and cuddle with them, knowing that someday they will be too old to cuddle and cover with kisses. My heart breaks just thinking about my precious babies all grown up...they better give me a bunch of grandchildren!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548063638135975715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-35351955868389903772010-03-03T17:57:59.204-08:002010-03-03T17:57:59.204-08:00Ahh!! the lasts- we don't usually even know wh...Ahh!! the lasts- we don't usually even know when they happen- looking at Remi's kissable cheeks reminds me of how I loved kissing my babies' little cheeks and when was the last time- one day they are big kids and just don't like to be kissed anymore- thank goodness for the grands- and no wonder the Great's are so thrilled with another round (and its also the answer to the question of strangers' stares and comments- they are just taking a quick trip down memory lane)Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027397479302706641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-80796993245617670252010-03-03T13:34:48.315-08:002010-03-03T13:34:48.315-08:00When you say a poem makes you weepy, knowing that ...When you say a poem makes you weepy, knowing that I am pregnant and hormonal, I shouldn't read it!

People are going to walk by and wonder why I am crying at work.<br /><br />Being the mom on an "only" makes these moments even more precious for me. Like you said the "firsts" are not only the child's but the parent's 'firsts'. So are the lasts in many respects.<br /><br />I have documented a few of our lasts, the last time she said "Upids down" for upside down, the last outfit I will every be able to buy at Baby's R Us and the last pack of diapers!<br /><br />Thank you for letting us in on your journey, I truly enjoy it.Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740595759842423092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-66213076904104261402010-03-01T21:22:19.456-08:002010-03-01T21:22:19.456-08:00I was pretty good about recording "firsts&quo...I was pretty good about recording "firsts" for Grace. Not so much for Ethan (I had to search my blog to get the date of his first tooth for his baby book...7 months after the fact and the only tooth that got recorded!). I try and make up for it in other ways, and he certainly has more baby photos then Grace did. As excited as I am about Grace's (and mine by extension) firsts I am sad to watch my youngest leave the baby stages. Knowing that he's my last baby makes it harder to let him "be big". And boy does he want to "be big". "Ethan do it" is a very common phrase in this household.Cooking with Big Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022582208907832592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12175575.post-41705616765901910812010-03-01T19:22:35.353-08:002010-03-01T19:22:35.353-08:00Wow...that poem is sad.
