I no longer have a baby.

From they day they are born, you know that they are growing up.

You understand as they hit milestone

After milestone

Yet really knowing your baby, isn't going to be a baby forever. It hits you, and not softly, one day you are snuggling your baby, and the next, the next he has his first lose tooth. PUNCH, SMACK, FWHAP right upside the head. Your baby is now a big kid. 

From one parent to another. Snuggle a little longer, read another story, and just let them be little. It really is just for a little while.
