I feel broken. I don't miss ds being smaller and am really excited he's getting bigger and more fun now. I've never been a huge fan of the baby stage and have really enjoyed each new stage more than the last. PreK pretty much rocks.
I kinda feel the same way. I'm not really a baby person. I'm super excited for DD to get bigger so we can do lots of fun stuff. I love having conversations with DS and I know it's going to be awesome with DD too.

I feel like that when I visit friends that have new newborns. Like SO relieved that we have moved past that stage. But then I see pics of DD and get a bit nostalgic for her tiny squishyness! I do love that she is able to do and interact more! It is so much more fun!

I feel super nostalgic, but I don't wish I could go back to that stage. They are separate feelings for me. Every new stage is better--but I do miss the old ones, because they were him, and I will never see them again.

I really like this stage! DD and DS are really interacting with each other, I love hearing all their giggles.
I certainly don't miss the first 6 weeks of her life when all she would do was scream anytime her eyes were open. That was a rough time. Stupid reflux.

I go back and forth on liking this stage. I enjoy how independent he's becoming. But then there are days where he had me up all night and I just want him to stop getting into everything and stay where I left him.
I am loving the personality though. I think he's being cute when he wraps his little arms around my neck in what I think is a hug. Then with his little claws he grabs my hair at the root and pulls and smiles. I yell out in pain while prying his hands off my hair and tell him no. He gives me his best angry cry before getting distracted and crawling away.
I miss/am nostalgic for from like 7 weeks forward, and I wish I could go back and do somethings differently from day -7 through 7 weeks.
Those first few weeks are insane. I have been keeping a one-line a day diary from the day she was born and I recently went back and looked at the first few weeks... I don't remember anything!

I have birthday parties on my mind... can't decide if I want to do a big invite-everyone-we-know type party the week before his b-day (on 4th of July weekend) AND do a family only shin-dig on his actual day or if that'll be too much. I know it's still so far away but if I do want to do something on the weekend of 4th of July I need to invite people early or they'll have other plans.

I wish I would have done something like this. Or even a written one because yea....I don't remember a lot. I actually need to sift through my post history here to pinpoint some milestones. MOTY. I know roughly when they happened, but not exact. I should get on that.

I'm in sort of a similar position but considering Memorial Day weekend for a party. It's like 3 days after DS's birthday. It won't be a huge party (just family and a couple close friends), but I can't imagine doing NOTHING on his actual bday. It's the middle of the week though, so I think it will be a "cupcakes and party hats with mom and dad" event.

I should have requested off their birthday but I was a dumb-dumb and didn't. I keep thinking hmm, how obvious would it be for me to be sick on their birthday?

I was so hoping DD would be born memorial day weekend, so it would make a party so easy! She did not comply Her birthday is on Friday this year and we are having the party the next day, so it will just be mom and dad on the actual day. Hopefully it will be nice and we can do a little picnic for the three of us!

Is it already too late?? I think that you could totally call out sick.

Yea, unfortunately. My department does vacation requests 6 months at a time (which is so stupid and hard to plan for!), so I had to request all my days for March-September in February. Of course June-August are peak request times so they won't honor any additional requests unless our production at that time is waaaay ahead, which it never is. So I may just be sick this year!

Wow! That is so hard to plan for!! Blah. You should definitely be sick.

I track miles stones on a note on my phone. And through Facebook posts.
I'm thinking of getting his hair cut soon. I like how he looks with this length or maybe a little shorter. It's about 2-3 inches from his eyes now, so we don't HAVE to cut it yet but it's getting long on his neck and over his ears. A bunch of the boys & men in our family have long hair but I just picture him with short hair and don't feel the need to have him grow it out (and me to have to deal with maintaining it.)
