[Resi]

I gave Oliver sweet potatoes this weekend for the first time. He opened his little sweet mouth and took each bite like a pro. He acted like he has been eating solids his whole little life. He was so cute!

I love him so much. Why does he have to grow so fast? I can't believe he is already 6 months old. To be honest it makes me so sad and I dwell on it every day. I am excited for him to keep learning and growing but I don't want it to happen so fast. I just wish I could keep him my baby for a long long time. I don't understand why I have such a hard time with it. I listed some baby items on craigslist today and it makes me sad that he already has outgrown so many things. I listed his co-sleeper, bumbo, a sling, pregnancy books, maternity clothes...

I think about how sad it will be when I can't cuddle all close to him and kiss him all over and hold him.. becaues he will think he is too big for those things. I get a lump in my throat when I think about him going outside to play for the first time on his own and riding off on his bike without me. Darn it.. I could just go into the bathroom at work right now and cry my eyes out. I guess loving him this much is learning over time to let him go some and grow up. I know I have a long way for all of this but time will pass so fast and before I know it he will be on his way out the door.

((((((hugs)))))) Awwwww, now you're making me want to cry! I wish there were a way for you to slow down time and enjoy Oliver being a baby even longer...

They really do grow up much to fast. I'm sorry it's an emotional day for you, Resi. Hopefully you can go home soon and give your little man some cuddles and kisses!!

I'm right there with ya! Do you know I still cry every time I have to box up their clothes they've outgrown? We have a storage unit with just about everything we own in it and all the newborn stuff is right in the front. I get all misty every time we have to go because they're not my little babies anymore.

They grow up way too quickly but no matter how big Oliver gets he will always be your baby. My boys are such snugglers its going to be hard when they feel they're "too big" for that stuff. But it's also replaced by other new and exciting things. Some days though it feels like each new step they take is a step farther away from you.

The time does go by so quickly and they grow up so fast! The moments and milestones are so bittersweet.

Okay, Resi way to make me cry at work!!!! It is so obvious how much you love Oliver and I believe you will always have a wonderful relationship with him because of that! Believe it or not there are some kids who love their mommy so much they arent embarassed to kiss them in public, I think Oliver will be that way! My little cousin is that way with her mommy!

I hear you. I've really begun to cherish Alyssa's middle-of-the-night feedings. I just snuggle and cuddle her and try to absorb every single minute with her. She's growing so quickly.

Maybe you should have another.

I know what you mean and Conner is only 1 month old!! Seeing how different he is already just from when we brought him home makes me cry. I hope you get to enjoy every minute with Oliver.

awww Resi that is sooo sweet how you feel!!! I don't even have my baby here yet, and it made me all teary thinking about how quickly she'll grow up!!! Geez my pregnancy flew by so fast!!! Enjoy every moment you have with him!!! Every mile stone- there will be some good ones soon, crawling, walking, the first tooth... his first words... how exciting!!! And when you get to go on walks and go to the park and push him in the swings!!! How fun!!!

I think you should have another baby someday, you are such a great mommy to Oliver!!! And you would be such a great mommy to another baby too, and Oli would have a little sis or bro Too fun!!!
