My Baby

My youngest is two years old today

Does anyone have any idea on how to halt growth in a child? Or to stop time?

He still tells me he loves me and still wants to cuddle and the only thing that makes him cry is when we are out of milk or he has to go to bed. No talking back or attitude laced arguments. It has been a fabulous two years.

I know, he doesn't look like much of a baby anymore, but he'll always be my baby right?

He absolutely will be forever your baby!

I cant help you with the stopping time but it is an amazing thing to watch them grow.

My boys are 2 and 4.

My youngest turned 2 in early February and I think I know exactly how you feel. New words, new gestures, stringing multiple words together, colors, shapes, animals, questions, now wants to talk on the phone. New things every day. The world is this great big place for them to explore and learn and grow.

But yes, they will never be this age again. Take lots of pictures and video, keep a diary of even minor events, start a scrapbook for the first haircut, etc... You cannot hold back time, but you can hold onto pieces of it, and hold on tight to them. Also hold on tight to your seat because the exciting part of the ride is about to begin. Enjoy. He is beautiful.

Out Little Man turned two in March. Since there's no stemming flow of the sands of time I prefer to focus on appreciating the stages in development. Every day he does or says something new and I am frequently surprised. I try to help him with his discoveries and challenges and teach him whatever I can. Aging is an amazing and awesome process. Sure there's something left behind, but there's so much yet ahead.

Happy birthday, Axel.

Axey says "thanks"

(actually it's more like "daint-yoo")

Oh if only we could.

My daughter was 29 last week. As her mother and myself are both only children we would never have wished our daughter to be an only child. Life can be lonely when you have no aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, neices or nephews. Yet as the years pass quicker and quicker I often feel anxious that Lara might never have a younger half brother or half sister. Her mother won't have any more children now, and unless I become a dad again in my sixties....

Oh, and happy birthday to young Axel

Every age of my kids has had it's blessings. I like ALL the stages (well, the early-on sleep deprevation....?). My "baby boys" are young men now, getting closer to leaving the nest.
Treasure your dear ones.

Happy Birthday!!!

Stopping time? Nope, and yes, you will wonder where the time has gone. On my third now (2 kids) and now 1 grandkid and it is fun and amazing to watch them grow.
