Letting Go







Okay this probably sounds crazy but here goes. Every since Taryn was ten days old and we had to take the little head support out of the carseat, I have just felt like my little girl is growing up too fast. She's constantly becoming more independent, and don't get me wrong, I feel very blessed to have such a healthy little girl who is doing all the developmental skills, sometimes ahead of time. I just feel like she is doing everything so fast.

So,I had been putting off giving her cereal because she had been doing just fine solely on breastmilk, and I wasn't ready to see my baby eat with a spoon. But after her and Jacob had a long, long, nite the other nite while I was at work he said it's time for the cereal now. And I knew he was right :(

So last nite she had cereal and not only did she love it, she grabbed the spoon and tried to feed herself. Oh my, here we go again. I'm really not that bad, am I??

  1. i totally get what you are saying. I about had a nervous breakdown when I sold their infant seats. Matt had to convince me it was necessary. I just kept thinking, this is what we brought them home from the hospital in. I can't get rid of them! but really, what was I going to do with them? I am just so happy that I am blessed to have two little guys that are growing and healthy, independent and have their own little personalities. I love that they want to do things themself, because that means that they don't want to have to depend on anyone else, and that will come in handy some day.

  2. I know what you are saying. But you are right. She is beautiful, healthy and you are both good parents. She and you will be fine. Just take each day with her and make the most of it. Pictures of every little memory you want to keep and that will result in a great life story for her and memories for you to hang onto. So glad to see the beautiful pics on the locker! Happy Mother's Day to you!

  4. You will be okay. It is very sad to watch them grow at times. I think this is the reason why women have more than one baby.
