the one where I convince you to wake a sleeping baby.

Let’s discuss the fact that when I started this blog Addie looked something like this…

And today? This…

want to know what makes your little kid look huge? a baby.

If you feel an overwhelming need to go grab your baby out of bed, no matter how old they are, and squeeze the ever loving daylights out of them?

I don’t blame you one teeny little bit.

  1. While I love Addie’s curls and eyes, it is Vivi’s expression that I adore most. Such a typical baby expression – leave me the heck alone. I miss those days! I might just go give my girls an extra squeeze πŸ™‚

  2. Seeing babies is a horrible reminder that my little ones are growing up. But your Vivi is so darn cute it almost hurts. And Addie looks like such a proud big sister. You are one lucky Momma!

  4. Holy cow, there’s no denying that Vivi is Cody’s daughter! Yeah, Q promised me she’d stay four for a little while longer. It’s going way too fast…

  5. Haha – my grand baby lives just a few miles away from me and I am tempted some nights just to drive over there and give him a little hug. Not so sure my daughter would appreciate me waking him up to do that:) But I am tempted!

  6. I don’t have children of my own but my niece just turned 7. It is going way to fast, even as the aunt who sees them once a week. I am always taking photos of them and hugging them because every time I see them. Congrats to you & your beautiful family!

  7. Yep. I feel ya. we’re on vacation and I’ve been lying down with Dean until he falls asleep every night “because he’s in unfamiliar surroundings.” Kid could sleep through a monster truck rally. Mama needs snuggles.

  8. I showed my fiance that picture and his comment was that Vivi looks like she’s impersonating Charlie Sheen in this picture. I dunno about that. She’s definitely winning though. And Addie’s growing up so purty!! With two girls that pretty, I’d advise Cody to start practicing his aim and invest in a shotgun if he doesn’t already have one.

  9. Ack! Addie was so cute! And still is!

    I love Vivi’s expression in that picture. Do you think she is going to have curly hair too?

  11. Oh my goodness! Yes, they grow up too fast. 😦 I just got to take pictures of my best friend’s new baby yesterday and while my boys were much bigger at birth… yeah. She’s tiny!
    (and Vivi looks so much like Cody! + or – the expression? πŸ™‚

  12. At 16 and 17, mine come and wake me up for a hug – especially if I’ve taken the opportunity for a nanna-nap!

  13. I hear you! Sometimes it physically pains me to lay that baby in her crib after she falls asleep. So many nights we just rock and rock and rock long after she’s asleep! I know it will go crazy fast (it already has!) but I figure I can always think to myself “I don’t remember every detail, but I know I savored every moment of her tiny sweetness!!”
