What are you feeling sappy about?

[packerfan4life]

Tonight during bath I noticed 2 little teeth bumps in LO's mouth. It made me cry. I love her little gummy smile. And I got spoiled that DD1 didn't get her first tooth until her first birthday. Here's hoping they don't pop through too soon

[manybellsdown]

I'm with you. I talked about it on the private board, but he's had his two bottom teeth for a couple of weeks now. Sniffle. The good news is that I don't often see them, and they've become just a different type of cuteness when I do.

I sometimes get sappy about how not-little he's becoming and chastise myself for any desire I've had for it to speed up.

We've had teeth for over a month now. Ahead of the game, this kid.

IDK. She's our last baby, probably, so all the firsts are also lasts. Makes me a little sad.

[txmommy14]

Everything. I feel sad about changing clothing sizes, getting bigger, getting teeth...and we still plan on having another baby!

I'm feeling sad today because she's pretty sick for the first time (fever, cough, congestion, etc.) and I'm so sad for her that it hurts. I wish I could take the physical pain away from her. She's always been a fussy baby that screams a lot, but this screaming is so much more sad. So I guess that's not sappy, I'm just feeling emotional today.

I go back and look at pictures of her birth on my phone often. Heck, I still have a few pictures from DS' birth on my phone. I'm a big sap. I feel sad like I've missed the baby stage with her because she's been such a hard baby and I've wanted this hard stage to pass and now it's lasted longer than I ever thought it would, but I know a lot of people feel that way as they are just trying to survive.

Everything. He's becoming an amazing little person and I wish I could go back to when he was brand new, now knowing more about him and his personality. I miss those crazy days of just hanging out nursing constantly. I miss maternity leave and having so much one-on-one time. I am so proud of how much he's grown but the newborn clothes are so stinking cute and tiny I can barely remember him being that small.

[mladerri]

Everything. txmommy14 I'm with you wishing this hard stage will pass quickly and then I'm sad he's almost 6 months old.

Moving on to solids...apparently!

[pbandj714]

Oh man. Just hearing about all your babies with teeth makes me feel sappy! No teeth yet here.

When I was designing our Christmas cards I was feeling extra sappy looking back through all their newborn and brand new pics. It's incredible how big they've gotten! I just love their personalities they've developed.

[Kevinmac]

I just miss him being really little. I wish I could go back now, like someone said, knowing what I know now and do it all over again. I find myself looking at all the pictures I've taken on an almost daily basis.

[greysonsmom]

I miss all the snuggles!

[manybellsdown]

Sap alert. Just packed up all the 3mo clothing. 😭

I just cut the tags off the carter's 6 month stuff. How?! 😢

[sandandsea]

I haven't really felt sappy about anything. I've already donated all the newborn to 6 month clothes and was going to donate his Halloween costume but decided to keep it. Both boys wore it their first Halloweens and I thought it was worth keeping.

Us too. I'm looking for 12 month stuff at a consignment sale this weekend because I'm thinking he will need that size come February or March.

[titania]

I was so sad to pack up the newborn and 3 month clothes. . I can't believe she was that small!

[vivela]

DS is already in 12 month stuff... I feel sappy about when my back didn't hurt all the time from carrying around my giant baby.
But seriously, thinking about weaning makes me sappy. I like breastfeeding and I'll actually miss it when we eventually stop.
And I teach teenagers, so I am always thinking about what it will be like when he's too old to carry, to old to sleep next to, etc.

Guys, there is a June 2017 board! I mean, duh, of course there is by now, but I remember when we were all new to this board.

I didn't even think of this. How had it been over a year already?

[pbandj714]

It's so crazy to think that last Thanksgiving DH and I were telling our families that we were expecting twins. Whoa.

[amiet79]

sandandsea, I haven't felt sappy about anything either. I have a garbage bag full of DS2's smaller clothes ready to donate and I'm excited that it'll be out of my house soon. I've gotten rid of the baby swing and I'll be getting rid of my nursing pillows and the playmat soon. I thought that since DS2 is my last baby that I would feel sad about getting rid of things, but I'm not. I'm looking forward to being done with the baby phase and I'm ready to move onto the next phase.

[ArgyleEnigma]

Packing up the clothes and the bassinet! Ahhhh what no

[origamimommy]

Everything. I felt like with my first, I was so excited for him to meet new milestones and wanting to watch him grow. But I know how fast it passes by now, and he is already 5 months old. And it makes me so sad that he has gotten so big. I love him so much, and I want him to stay my baby.

[mladerri]

*poof*
This was my first official bump photo I'm sappy thinking about how much I have to be thankful for this year.

[pbandj714]

Awwwww! mladerri, so pretty!

[Stringy]

I sold our bouncer today. DD1 used to nap in it all the time. P didn't use it much cuz she's so big she was practically flat in it. Now it just makes her mad. So I sold it for ten bucks.

But guys....my babies :-(

Add us to the almost outgrown 9 month clothes already. We were in a restaurant next to another 5 month old the other day and P was twice his size.
