wading through motherhood with all my ducks in a row

would someone please tell him to slow down?


Caleb is growing way too fast. His 6 month sized clothes, which I swear I only pulled out the other day, hardly fit him now, and I know I need to pull out the 9 month wardrobe soon before he outgrows that, too. I'm hesitant to do so, though, and it's not just because I'm having a difficult time letting go of another stage of my baby's babyhood. I mean, let's be honest with ourselves: It's mostly because I don't want say goodbye to the adorable outfits he hardly got to wear because he grew too quickly. Maybe Caleb's sense of fashion is still underdeveloped because, based on how often he spits up all over them (the pediatrician wasn't kidding when he said reflux peaks at 4 months!), I don't think he cares much. So maybe I should just pull out already the clothes that will fit him better.

Check out that hair! No, seriously, isn't it awesome?

He has Alex's hair! Too fun. And Alex is growing out of his clothes too! I'm in denial and don't want to put them away quite yet... but he's already fitting into the 9-12 mo clothes... and he's not even 8 months yet!

Love that smile!

I had to stop buying pajamas and outfits that were footed. It felt like Liam's feet and legs were growing faster than the rest of him. When he sort of "evened" out a little, I went back to getting him the cute footed PJs. I also took lots of pictures in all of his cute clothes before he grew out of them.

Be warned, Kimberly -- babies grow FAST.

He is a cutie!! I just wanted to tell you that you cousin did move into our ward. I actually have never seen her since I am in primary but I read it in the RS newsletter. We will have to track her down one of these Sunday's!

He IS big! Seems like kind of suddenly big....maybe he outgrew colic and hit a growth spurt all at the same time.
It seems like all those first year clothes get put away as quickly as you get them out. However, on the other end, Patrick is finally at the point where things fit for a loooonng time, to the point that things do actually wear out before they are outgrown. It's kind of odd actually.
