Thank goodness I have LOTS of photos…

January 24, 2012 by Elaine

She’s growing up.  Already.

Yeah I know, she’s only a little over two (2 years and 3.8 months to be exact) but when she’s your last?  You kinda wish she could be a baby forever.

Maybe this is why I have yet to give potty training a real “go” or I am hesitant to completely pull the plug (a.k.a. the paci)…

She talks (a lot) and runs and rides her scooter and hollers at the boys and gives her opinion about clothes/shoes and her hair style.  She tells me she wants to go to “my school” and plays with her “babies” and draws (sorta) pit-chures and demands what she wants (we are working on that… ), especially to play “An-ree burrs” (Angry Birds) on my phone.

I have no idea how all of this happened so quickly and all on my radar.

So… in order to feel (if only for a few minutes) that she IS still my baby, I edited a portion of the scads of photographs I took of her as a wee one and now I’m sharing some with you here because, wow, she was so damn cute (and still is, of course) and we can all use a little, darling “baby” in our life, right?

I think so…

Where’s the “rewind” button??

Also, Lightroom is SO awesome…

*these were all taken in the 5-6 month time of her life.  There are MANY, many more from other months…

    I am in the exact same boat. Every day, I look at Caroline and just pray that she’ll stay little for a bit longer. We’ve been working on the paci thing to and so far, we’ve managed to just keep it for bed/nap times. That part has been pretty easy but I just can’t bring myself to take it away yet for sleeping. Or long car trips. 🙂

    Aw, I just love those chubby baby legs! That was it for me you know – seeing my Monkey’s legs lengthen out and slim down. End of babyhood. *sniff*

    What a cutie. I hate that they grow up so fast. My baby is 8 months old and I am already wondering where the time has gone!

    I’ve been searching for the pause button for 9 years to no avail…they grow so fast! She is ADORABLE! 🙂

    I always ask my kids – “How did you get so big?” Goes way too fast. Cameras are seriously the best invention ever. Love those chubby little legs. so cute.

    Oh I miss the just-sitting-up-sorta-crawling-toe-sucking phase of life. And to think I’ll never have another little person so tiny!
