Everyone tells you how fast your kids will grow up - I would always just shrug my shoulders and smile, the only thing I knew to do at that time without wanting to burst in to tears. I didn't think I would ever be able to understand what they meant by that. Why they would say that? How could it really happen that fast without you realizing it?
Guess what - it happens overnight! Thanks to a pretty bad snow storm yesterday, bug and I spent the day at home. We were playing in the toy room and all I wanted was for her to roll over - hubs and I have been trying to get her to do this for a while now....she'll roll to her side, hang there for a minute and then, eh, she's over it and rolls right to her back again. Not yesterday....she got to her side and I started to record with my phone in hopes she would complete the 'roll'. I kept saying, 'keep going, keep going' as I was holding back from pushing her big ol' bum to help her move a little quicker. Then she did it. Rolled over all on her own and I almost burst in to tears - one of my biggest fears is missing out on her firsts.
Normally I'm a huge hater on snow storms, but not yesterday - yesterday I was thrilled to have been stuck inside the house with my bug so I could watch her roll over...then to see her sit up for a good amount of time on her own while she smashed her chubby hands on the toys. To top it off, one of her bottom teeth is starting to poke through (both are coming up but now you can see one more than the other).
Now I get it.....it really does happen fast!
