They Grow Up So Fast...

You know your kids are growing up when:
You still buy baby wipes but they are now mainly used at the dinner table, not the changing table.
Your one year old wears a size 5 in diapers.
Your one year old wears a size 3T in clothes.
Your 3 year old wears a size 4-5T.
Your 3 year old stops wearing pull-ups and sleeps in underwear.
Your kids get into their own car seats.
You no longer use high-chairs.
You no longer use bibs.
You no longer use bottles.
You don't care so much when other people talk about their babies rolling or sitting or crawling, cause you're SO DONE WITH ALL THAT!
You get to start throwing away all kinds of toys, justifying this to the kids by saying they are 'baby toys'.
Your 3 year old no longer fits into the front of the grocery cart.
Your one year old barely fits into the front of the grocery cart.
You're told dinner looks, "Diss-guss-ting!"
You hear the phrase, "Whatever!" (from a 3 yr old!)

You know they will always be your babies when:
You start to hear unprompted, "I love you"s.
They wake in the middle of the night, and they still need their Mama.
They still fall asleep on you like infants.
They are sad, and they need their Mama.
They are hurt, and they need their Mama.
Kisses still fix tears.
They are excited, and you're the first one they tell.
They are proud, and they want you to know.
You hold them, and they hold you back, as if their lives depend on that connection.

I love my babies.
