Lil Miss-E is really shooting up like the Sprout we nicknamed her in utero. Each time she grows I am proud, shocked and sad. I knew I was an emotional mommy when she lost her cord stump and I cried. Now I shed a tear each time she outgrows an outfit. Today our tiny lil girl graduated into 0-3 month clothing, no longer a tiny newborn. How am I going to handle her losing teeth??
Another touching moment that I loved was seeing her fussy face (No mommy, no!). She gave me a glimpse of her older self refusing and arguing. She turns her nose up, her chin drops into a pout and her lips bunch up. I could not help but laugh at the face I would see a ton more of in her fussy 2s, and difficult pre-teen years.
It's always a mix of sadness and joy when you see them hit a new milestone - I miss baby Eric often but can't get enough of toddler Eric all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteNot having my own little ones, I can only imagine the ups and downs, the excitement, but yet sadness because they are growing up. I know you cherish each new stage (:
