Long Overdue Update

Wow. I just got a reply from someone on this blog and realized that I have not updated this blog in a LONG time. So, Here we are and I will start with a picture! :)

Courtney is doing well. She is sleeping on the couch. which is amazing. She usually is bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to go by now. She must have not gotten much sleep last night. Poor thing.

All she seems to be talking about these days is how she wants to go to school. She is 3. Please baby stop growing. Im not ready to ship you off to school. Although I still have a whole year yet before you go, it just saddens me to know that you are just DYING to get outta the house already.

"Momma, Im gonna be in K-4!" *wipes tears* Yes baby, K-4!

Could someone please tell me why God created the kids to grow so fast? Couldn't he have realized that mom's get attached and at least made the baby/toddler stages go just a bit slower. There really is no need in making them grow so fast. I cuddle Courtney and I beg for the baby days again. I beg for my little girl to not be moble so I have an excuse to hold her and she can't fight me to get away. I miss the days of cradling her with one arm. Now she is this little giant and it takes all my strength to pick the girl up. At her last doctor's appointment she was 34.5lbs!!! Where'd my 6lb 15.5oz angel go? And Could I have her back please?

But then again, I remember when Courtney was a baby, asking for her to be able to talk to me and play with me, and run and walk, etc. This way I could understand what she wanted. Now the girl doesnt ever zip her lips and I just look at her as daily her words get clearer and clearer and Im like SERIOUSLY!!! Do you EVER shut up!!!! LOL No peace for me and no Rest for the weary.

To you momma's with little ones. When someone tells you ENJOY it while it lasts....LISTEN! Because they dont stay that way for long and eventually you will be wondering just where the HECK your little infant went.
