But I never really thought about it until I picked her up today to cuddle our way down the hall for a nap. She's heavy! She still has snuggle appeal, but not when you're holding her. It actually made me kind of sad. She's growing up.
Wait, let me take a quick break.
Okay, no tears shed, but it was close.
I knew this would happen. But when did it happen? I swear I watch my children most of the time (okay, maybe out of the corner of my eye while I'm on Facebook), but I could have swore that just a few months ago she was saying "Walah" instead of "Water"...or was that 6 months ago?
I look back at pictures of Piper from when we first moved here to Utah, to when our friends first started to get to know us...she was just a baby! She fell more than she took steps! She took long naps because she wanted them! She still needed a cup of warm soy milk before she went to bed to help her sleep!
And the scariest part of all...is Sam will do the exact same thing...and I have no control over it.
This is when the "been there, done that" moms will say, "Cherish every moment." Well I guess I'd better get started cherishing because I sure thought I had more time. And don't even get me started on THAT subject...science says that there's 24 hours in a day, but I'm not sure I believe them...
Just so this post isn't too emotional, about 5 minutes after I took that picture of Piper, she peed on the couch.

I was feeling all sentimental and stuff about my kiddos too and then the last line. HAHAHHAHAHA I almost fell out of my chair. Gotta love being a Mommy. :)
Oh my goodness!! You just about had me in tears. Having 4 kids (one of them turning 7 this year!!) really makes me slow down and enjoy every moment that I can. THEN, you had to add your ending, and I just about died!!! SO stinking funny!!
