by photochick~ I saw a cool idea on someone's blog (have no idea where now, or i would do them justice and link up) to look through your photo file and find a photo from about this time a year ago, or two years ago. I was totally not expecting the emotion I felt when I found these photos. How in the world did my baby grow up so fast?
Two years ago: (one of my first photo shoots with punkin and his daddy)
One year ago: (playing at the park . . . oh how we miss that park!)
Now: (a big boy helping Pops coach the Ladycats)
My observations:
1) I don't think he's gained a pound in 2 years, just grown straight up!
2) This is petty, but truly what comes to mind: I don't care how scraggly it looks some days, I love his long curly hair. Our last haircut was wayyyyy too short (as seen in current photo) and seeing it in a photo reminds me how MUCH I don't like it! Truthfully, probably because he looks so much older. Ick! :=)
3) He has truly grown from a baby into a little boy . . . from a chunky cheeked one year old in a diaper that could barely communicate to a tall and slender big boy underwear-wearing three year old that out of the blue says things like, "Mom, I'm famished. Can I have an apple?"
He is so precious. He has grown up so much. It is hard to let them grow-up. My big boy is as tall as me now. I swear he has gown 4 inches in the last two weeks.

He has grown up so fast. It seems like yesterday that you had him and now you are having another one. Can't wait!

He's still so cute. I like his curls longer too.

Famished? Sounds like a teacher's kid to me using vocab like that!!

I think my first comment was eaten, but just wanted to say how much he's grown....wow and i love the last picture and the way he matches pops.
