My little girl is growing up...

oh, i definately do know this feeling. i remember my grandmother used to talk about enjoying each day as it moves too quickly. i never believed her, either. i thought what does she know? now i'm 60 ! where did my baby go? well, she's beautifully all grown up and married herself! believe me. it does go by so quickly.

I know just how you feel I have two little girls one 2years old and the other 7months. My two year old will be 3 in jan and I can't wait she so smart and sheloves to habg out with her mother she loves to go shopping. I just can't wait to she how she will grow.

I'm sure that anyone with children feels the same way! They do grow up so fast! My kids are all grown and now we have 8 grandchildren, with another on the way. I don't know where the time has gone! Cherish her while she's small, Mom.

I took my son's photos during his several stages of life. I have the same feeling when I see his photos when he was a toddler. He is eight years old now developing into a young man. Sometimes one does not realise that our children do grow up fast until we see our old photo album.

[i]Hi babykeka, I have no kids but I understand how you feel..and i know she will always be your baby whatever her age is..Same reaction to all my friends who are parents! ANyway, she is so cute holding the fish! [/i]

Yes I do, my daughter is 13 and looks like a young woman and I really don't know where all the years have gone to but like yourself I remember looking at my daughter at 3'ish, about when she was she was off to nursery and missing her been a baby.. so I had another baby once she went to school, perhaps your ready for another.

I don't have kids, so i can't really say, but I do have an idea. i don't know how it is to watch someone grow, but I know how it is with my nieces and nephews. I only get to see them once a year, because of there they live. Every year they are a year older, and it's strange, because if I can't SEE them growing, it's a surprise to see that they've grown, even though i know better. Does THAT make sense? :)

Yes. I felt the same way with my daughter. She was born with black hair and it seemed like overnight, it changed to brown. She is now 16 years old and will be 17 in a few months. It seems like yesterday when I had her.

Ah baby I know what your saying September brings that home for me more then any month. My son turned 17 yesterday, my youngest turns 15 the 25th of this month the oldest turns 22 the 27th. My baby's are growing up yours is still a baby, enjoy her now they really do turn to teens in the blink of an eye

Oh yes.. you are not alone. Yesterday I was holding my preemie daughter in the palm of my hand. Today, she is a SR in High School sigh My advice, ENJOY EVERY MINUTE YOU HAVE WITH HER. Do not secrectly wish she would hurry and grow up so she will stop driving you crazy. Because while she will grow up faster than you can imagine, she will NEVER stop driving you crazy. Hurry, run and hug her a little tighter while she still wants to be seen with you!

My son turned 16 this year and its almost like I just can't understand how. I am far from ready to let him grow up. I've always been over protective so I guess its my fault that he still seems so young to me. Whenever I have a dream that he is in he is still between the ages of 8 and 10, guess that's how old I'm going to keep him in my head. It doesn't help that he's my only one. Time goes to fast and I'm always regretting not doing the things with him I wanted to when he was still little. Cherish every moment and don't put off spending quality time with your daughter. Instead of putting off going to the park, take her today. There are so many things I wanted to do and places I wanted to take him but kept saying "some day" or "next week"; now he's too old for many of them and would probably be too embarassed by being seen with his mother for some of the others. Now I just try to spend as much time at home with him as possible, but at the same time he's become a "momma's boy", so I guess you have to find a happy medium there.

What you say is soo true lol they are babes one minute and the next they are grown and flown.We have kids and they are growing up fast,the funny things that you notice are the things like the changes they go through the older they get.I know a lot of mates have said to me that their kids are going thru the adolescent mood swings,its the hormonal changes lol,we have all gone thru the same.But I suppose the hardest stage has tobe the teenage years,they are supposed to be a nightmare,all the hormones run riot,and their moods are up and down like a yoyo.But I have loved sall the different stages so far,we have had to struggle a bit with some of the tantrums and the tears,but its all wort it in the end.
