Mr. Independent

I remember sitting holding my newborn baby and thinking how wonderful it was to be a mom. I didn't think about how he was going to grow up and how he wouldn't need mommy anymore. I didn't think about the times when he would cry and then stop as soon as I laid him down. Why would I think this would ever happen. This is just proof to everyone that Lancer is practically grown up. He doesn't need mommy to feed him anymore, he steals the spoon and feeds himself just fine. And if she tries to steal it back... I don't even want to think of that. He is on his own now. Pretty soon he will want the keys to the car and then he will be getting married. I didn't sign up for this whole growing up fast! I thought it would go by a little slower then every said. But everyone was right... it goes by fast. Too fast. I honestly want to cry when I see how small he used to be. But I made a goal to just enjoy every moment of his life. It only happens once. Why be sad when he gets bigger?? I will have plenty of time for more babies (don't worry, it will be in a long time, when I marry my prince charming...speaking of him.. I guess i will save that for another post) I love being a mom, but if any of you have ideas of how to make them slow down on growing, let me know!!! P.s. The brick on the head doesn't work.
