Things change quickly

// July 8th, 2009 // family

This sort of snuck up on me the other day: How quickly things change.

We were donating a bunch of old stuff last week and one of things we were getting rid of was Lyla’s bouncy seat. You can see what I’m talking about in the picture to the right.

She’s outgrown it already.

The little activity mat (pictured left) where we taught her to be on her belly and play with little toys hanging from the arches above…just got packed up. She needs more space now. The entire living room is at her disposal now.

That little mat couldn’t contain her anymore.

It’s only been seven months and it’s amazing how brief some things are. You worry about your child crying herself to sleep so much it breaks your heart, then a few weeks later you’ve forgotten all about it.

I used to get Jina a glass of ice before I went to bed every night so she could have something to drink when she woke up to feed Lyla in the middle of the night. Now she sleeps all night and the glass of ice is a distant memory.

I think I now understand now when people try to tell you to enjoy every moment of your child’s life, and especially  even the early weeks and months.

I just know that in probably just over a few weeks or a few months, suddenly that cute little Bumbo will also become a thing of the past.

I’ll miss it.
