Freedom...



LOST! As a mom I have mixed emotions. Excitement and pride swells my heart as my son hits new mile stones. I clap and tell him how excited I am and that he is such a big boy. I want him to excel and continue to grow. At the same time, it's so crazy how fast time goes. Time is flying by and my baby boy won't be a baby for long. I love how a little at a time he gains some independence, but hate it at the same time. Pretty soon he won't need me as much. I want him to need me and yet not all at the same time. How is that possible? This weekend I've lost some freedom. Lincoln is officially on the move! He isn't to quick yet, but I'm sure in the next week he'll have it down pat.
Out will come the pac-n-play. I can no longer leave him sitting in the middle of the floor and go in the other room to do something! He is on the move. Even though he is my only boy, from what I see he is pretty much ALL boy! I'm sure there will be some exciting stories ahead!

Such a cute little guy you have!! I understand your mixed emotions as I have them too. My little Pickle is 16 months old and part of me wants so desperately to freeze time...same with my daughter...at4.5, she's at her easiest stage yet...how precious are children!

He's adorable! Hang in there, all these Mommy emotions are so hard. It goes so quickly and then it's gone. Enjoy each of them while you still can!
