It All Goes By Too Fast

You've heard this a million times, "they grow up so fast".  It's no lie.  I was talking to an expecting friend today about what things I had that she can borrow.  Things that a year and a half ago we were using.  It went too fast.  No matter how many times I was told this, and no matter how much I knew it was true...the reality is that it doesn't hit you until you are in the storm.

My baby, that used to be just a teeny baby now talks back to me; helps me clean; vocalizes her needs/desires/choices; calls me out on using bad words or when I talk to myself; wants to use lip balms; has preferences; uses those bad words in proper context; empathizes and sympathizes; loves and hates; and grows out of her clothes.

It all goes by too fast.
