Happy and Sad

I just sat here and looked at the old pictures on the blog. It is amazing how much the bean has changed and grown in just the past month and a half. Her face is changing as well as her personality. It is so strange to see and it makes me sad.

Of course, I am excited that she is getting bigger, learning lots, and doing more things. It is wonderful to see her personality develop (even if it involves quite a little temper that I attribute to her father, because we all know that I am the most even tempered person in the world) but it is sad to see that she isn't my tiny little baby anymore.

Everyday she gets closer to being her own little person, and farther away from the baby who was more a part of me than the independent little girl that she is becoming. I know that we will have more babies, but it is sad to think that the little bean will never be that way again.


Gosh, this motherhood stuff is way different than I expected. Good, but really different. There is no book to prepare you for these feelings and emotions. I am also guessing that this just gets worse as she gets older and continues to become more and more independent.


Okay, please spare me the comments about how I have become and emotional sap. Thanks! :)

Here is a picture of the little one in her new jogging stroller. She is looking pretty chunky. Maybe she needs to go for a run. I guess she should learn to crawl and walk first.
