My baby just turned one year old this month and although it was a very exciting time for us it was also bittersweet. I find myself having a hard time with all the transitions he is going through.

He is walking now, no longer nursing, and soon to be in a front facing car seat. These milestones are truly making me understand when people would say “Enjoy him…they grow so fast.”

From one day to the next he started walking without falling keeping me on my toes since he disappears in the blink of an eye. From one day to the next he’s no longer in my arms nursing making me miss cuddling and holding him. And from one day to the next he will be in a front facing car seat making me paranoid of car accidents (thanks YouTube).  And just like that from one day to the next he will be off to school, getting married and making me scratch my head wondering where did my baby go.

In the meantime I will continue to enjoy his every moments. From the frustrating ones to the happy ones because just like that…they really do grow so fast.
