It's the Little Things...

that make it feel like he is growing up way too fast!

I always knew one day he would hold his own bottle. There have even been days when I wanted him to hold his own bottle. But when he actually reached up and took it from Daddy, I just wasn't expecting it to happen today, and I definitely didn't expect me to be so sad about it.

It is a strange feeling to watch your child reach these little milestones.

In the same instant you are insanely proud of your child, and yet so sad to see them take a little step toward not needing you as much as they did the day before.

Like I said, It's the little things...

I totally agree, when my daughter was little I couldn't wait for her to be able to walk, talk, and get stuff for herself. Now I absolutely miss those sweet days of her being a baby. She's four now and I just can't believe it!

He may not need you to hold his bottle anymore, but he still needs you just as much, his needs just change. Sometimes, I think Clara and Lindy need me so much more than Charlie and Elise do.
