Ever since Rose was born, people always warned, "enjoy it, they grow up fast." I always knew it would go by quickly, but I really wasn't prepared for just how quickly. I mean, I can't believe she's already two months old. Two months!? That means only ten more months until a year. Which is close to being 5, which means she's almost a teenager, and I'll be sending her to college soon! Okay, maybe I got a little out of hand there. But really, I can't believe how incredibly fast time has gone by. This girl is growing in front of my eyes. This week we’re going to have to move from newborn diapers to size ones. The other day while in her carrier, I noticed that her head sticks up past the top now. Oh, and let’s not forget that we have a small but growing onesie graveyard for the onesies that are now too tight.
Although we were warned, we were no where close to being prepared for how fast this journey is going. We also weren’t prepared for how we would feel about the whole thing. I never knew I could be so sad and so happy at the same time. On one hand I’m sad about how quickly this journey is going. I’m even more sad that this time will never return and we can’t ever recreate it. But on the other hand, I’m also so excited and happy to see her grow and develop. She now gives us more emotions than just crying. Her smile warms my soul and gives me an immeasurable amount of joy. And I’m blown away at how strong she’s getting. She’s almost got full control of her head. I love it! So although we’re flying through this journey, I’m loving it. And now, more than ever, I don't want to miss a thing. I’m making every effort to be there, be in the moment and take it all in. Tips & Lessons Learned: - Enjoy it, they grow up fast.
