Growing up...

Okay, it's only been 6 weeks, but as parents we keep looking at Baby Bear and realizing just how much she's grown since birth. Then we reminisce about things like, "remember when she didn't fit this outfit?" or "remember how tiny she used to be?" It's funny though, because it truly hasn't been that long, and really, she isn't humongous, she's still a tiny baby. We're already starting to feel the nostalgia though. How odd.

It's true though. Every time I go out for a walk in the neighborhood or run a quick errand to the store with Baby Bear, I always run into other moms with babies who are a few months older. The first thing they always ask is how old Baby Bear is, but the second thing they always tell me is "it goes by really fast." Their child isn't even close to graduating and going to college yet, but still I always get the same comment.

Even my mom, the first day in the hospital told me "they grow up fast," but I think she actually has merit to say such things.

Then again, catch me in a few months and ask me how many times I've told someone with a newborn that "they grow up so fast." Then remind me to read this blog entry. That'll teach me.
