Growing Up

It's crazy how your kids get bigger without you even knowing it. Little things clue you in. For instance, their jeans start to look like floods or all of a sudden they can get a fork out of the silverware drawer. A drawer that they previously could barely open, let alone get a utensil out of. Things that you never thought they could do are done with ease. What the what? When did they get big enough to do that.

The last time I gave Amanda a bath in the bath ring she could barely sit up. She was slumped back in the seat and would have slid into the tub if it weren't for the bar between her legs holding her in. That was probably a month ago. Tonight was a different story. I put her in the bath ring and she sat there. Sat up. She didn't slump into the water, didn't lie way back. She sat there and spashed and had a great time.

Before my eyes my baby is growing up. How I wish I could freeze time.
