My newborn baby

I always refer to little Izzy as a newborn. He is so small and helpless. But I came to a shocking realization this weekend. My baby isn't a newborn.

On Friday night, Izzy started really bouncing in his jumperoo. He looked like a little frog, jumping back and forth. He was very proud of himself. He would jump a few times and smile happily. On Saturday, we went to Babies R' Us to purchase a few things. I seen lots of little babies - NEWBORN BABIES. They were tiny and sleepy and wrinkly. Izzy looked like a giant compared to those babies. On Sunday, Izzy figured out how to roll from his back to his belly.

Sunday night, I finally came to the realization that Izzy is no longer a newborn. Although I will not miss the newborn phase, I am still shocked at how quickly it passed. Izzy is a strapping 4 month old, who can coo and roll over and shove toys in his mouth and bounce in his jumperoo. Our baby is growing up so fast.

Christy-the picture is priceless. I love those chubby cheeks. I could eat him up and give him so many snuggles.

I STILL keep looking at my kids and thinking... oh my! They're not babies. I think I'm getting old. I think it daily. :)

It's amazing... even knowing how quickly they grow - it's still a surprise!

What a cutie! I love every stage but I will always miss my newborn babies the most. What would the world be like without chubby baby cheeks. All the aunties would have nothing to kiss.

Ack. I feel the exact same way about my daughter. And I totally remember when we brought our one week old daughter to the well clinic and thought all the other 5 month old babies were huge!
