I feel this so so so much. LO just turned two. It goes SO. FAST.

Sitting next to my almost 2 (in a month) year old daughter and not ready for the tears this brought on. Legit laughed out loud at the pumpkin pie line... Thanks for the rollercoaster emotions ride! :)
7,309,803

My daughter is about to turn 3 as well, and I feel this deeply. I cry at every new stage in her life, but I also love every stage. I cry every time I see a little baby out in public, because I want those moments again.
7,309,804

10 month old and definitely feeling like this. How does it go so quickly, where did my tiny baby go?
7,309,805

This is so beautiful. My baby is now 2 years old and I feel so overwhelmed by this new, passionate, silly, ever-changing person. She was the perfect baby, always happy, so pleasant… I miss her. And I’m trying so hard to embrace the amazing, intelligent funny young girl she’s become but it’s hard when I’m exhausted all ...

Hi. A grandma here…I remember when I was a young mom the old ladies would say “enjoy every minute because it goes so fast” and I’d say I am. But upon retrospect…I wasn’t. Gosh even typing that makes me tear up a little. As a parent it’s so hard to enjoy every minute because there’s so much in the way..life, spouse (or...

So beautifully said. I miss you and can’t wait to meet you. I might need to spend more time to in the present like OP. Pardon, after a not fun night: (OP even danced to cocomelon! I scoff at the mommy mullet.) And I also just want to PLAY. Can someone please take off the mommy responsibilities role? Can some elf (o...

So beautifully written. My daughter just turned a year at the end of October. I'm so excited for her first Thanksgiving meal & her opening her own presents this Christmas but it still feels unreal that she is even old enough for these things already

I have an almost-3 year old girl and I felt every word of this. She’s so incredible and we’ve been through so much together. They are resilient and wonderful and so, so funny.

I had to hold my 6 month old in tears after reading this. This was beautiful, OP.

Has a first time mom to assume to be 2-year-old that spoke to my soul. Beautifully written.
7,309,812
mommit
I have an almost-5-month old and she will probably be my only. Since I brought her home from the hospital I've been sad about her growing, its absolutely not fair that it goes so fast. The combination of mourning and celebrating every day is difficult to manage sometimes. I had no clue this is what motherhood is like, ...

That last line just hit it on the head!!

I struggle with this a lot. Baby is about to turn one and I just went back to work after a year at home. It's very hard and I'm trying to move forward, and this song helps me (in Italian): ["A Modo Tuo"](https://www.google.com.hk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiezpbetqH0AhWjS_EDHe5KCN...

4am nursing my 1 week old while my 4.5 year old sleeps in the other room. Having an older child really makes me realize how quickly it does go by. I hated the baby stage with my first I think because I had no idea how fleeting it all is. Soaking it all up with this little one who will be out last baby.
7,309,817
mommit
My oldest will be three in January and we have a four month old. Because of the baby my oldest wants me to pick her up and rock her “like a baby” and sing to her before her nap. I told my husband that I will do it every day until she gets to big or she wants me to stop because my baby is getting big sooo fast and there...
7,309,818
mommit
It's so hard but it's so wonderful. I can see want multiple kids now, but I also understand why I won't ever do that.
7,309,819
mommit
I felt like this when my oldest was 3. Like I’d missed all the best moments and it was all downhill. But he’s 8 now and just gets more fun each year. I can’t wait for my 5 month old to be 8!
7,309,820
mommit
I saw a quote recently that really hit me in the gut, something to the effect of “parenthood is loving the child you have today while mourning the child you had yesterday” Omfg and now I’m weeping I’ve got two little kids and heavily pregnant with a third so I’m feeling extremely soft at the moment lol.
7,309,821
mommit
Mine is only 10 months old and I feel this way so often. I miss her tiny scrunched up face and when I could just hold her for hours without her trying to go play or bite me or poke everything on my face. I do love these moments as well and when she stops using me as a jungle gym I will again be very sad. I wish I could...
7,309,822
mommit
God, make me ball why dont ya? Lol. My son is 2 and I just stare and get sad sometimes. I love the beautiful curious child he's become. I just miss the baby I had just a few short months ago.
7,309,823
mommit
I’m crying. It’s been like that with my now 2 year old. When she was a baby, I kept telling her to stop growing! I loved all those stages. I miss them but I’m also excited at who she’s becoming.
7,309,824
mommit
Oh man right in the feels!! I think shit this often and I good her close and tell her stories about when she was a tiny baby and she loves it Every time I'm tired or cranky I remind myself that someday very soon she wont want to sleep with me, she won't want me to kiss every boo boo, and I come back to the present an...

This made me cry. In the hospital, I nicknamed my baby Tiny because she was just so itty bitty. Now, she’s 6 months old & has grown & changed so much. It’s the most bittersweet feeling I have ever experienced
7,309,826
mommit
My 13 month old is tucked under my arm and I feel this post *in my soul*
7,309,827
mommit
I think you’re me. Daughter is also 3 years and we want another baby soon. I keep making sure that I want another baby and not just the time that’s gone with my daughter. I love who she is now, but I miss my snuggle baby and rocking her to sleep and singing her lullabies. Beautifully written.
7,309,828
mommit
Beautiful mama, and exactly right. My 11 year old is mere inches from my own height; sometimes I get a flash of them as my tiny 5 pound newborn and my heart aches. At the same time, I love hanging out with them now and seeing the unique, smart, funny, compassionate person they're aging into and then my heart just wants...

My daughter turned 4 today. I feel this so hard. Sending hugs
7,309,832
mommit
This is the one thing I really wasn't prepared for about having a child...the feeling that the child you know today is constantly slipping through your fingers. For me it's tied into the separation between the act of parenting and what my daughter means to me. The act of parenting can fairly often be tedious, frustrati...

I'm on the other side of the spectrum of this. My baby just turned 1 year old a week ago, and she can only sit unassisted for a couple of minutes. She only really started rolling over actively 3 months ago. She was diagnosed with hypotonia. She is very late in reaching milestones. I'm going back to work this weekend an...

mommit
This hit me right in the feels. I love watching my kids grow up and seeing the people they're becoming, but I also long for a time machine so I can go back in time to feel them kick me from the inside, hold them as newborns, hear their baby laughs, kiss their chunky baby thighs, and all that other good stuff.
7,309,835
mommit
I’ve never related to a post more. My heart is so happy yet so sad

Okay now I'm crying. My baby is only 2 months and I'm both dreading and looking forward to her growing.

Trying not to cry while reading this at work beautiful! My 5year old lost their first tooth, and my youngest is now speaking in sentences.
7,309,838
mommit
I’m looking at my almost four year old and almost 8 year old and this made me cry. Thank you for putting this into words. It’s grief, but the very best kind. I miss my babies. But I love my children. And I can’t wait to meet the people they will grow into.
7,309,839
mommit
Oh the feels on this one!

This is beautifully written... I tried to explain to my husband this exact thought and he didn't get it.. my 15 month old is growing up so fast .. running and dancing, saying quack quack and momma and I just look at old pictures sometimes and can't believe that tiny baby is my smart, sweet girl now

I went searching for a post like this. I needed to read it. I needed to know the gut wrenching pain is not only mine. I mourn the things that will never happen again, and the lasts that are soon to come. No amount of time will ever be enough; of this I am sure. I wish a version of us could visit the newborn stage from ...

This is beautiful and makes me both excited and sad for the future. My baby is 6 weeks old- we are obsessed with her little smile but already shocked by how quickly she is growing
7,309,848
mommit
Make an e-mail for her and send her this! This was beautiful to read and exactly how I feel about both my babies. I hardly ever have time to sit and remember but when I do, I mourn and feel happy I have my babies.

6 month old hasn’t been sleeping well this week. When rocking her back to sleep I’ve shifted my focus from “please fall asleep I need my sleep!” To me holding her for 30 plus minutes after she’s asleep because I want to soak it in.

I know everyone says it goes so fast but holy shit, it really does go fast. Three years ago this month I found out I was pregnant, we actually told everyone at thanksgiving dinner. And now she’s so big! She’s 97th percentile for height so some of her clothes now are size 4. 4! I told my husband, buying her latest round...

This is making me cry, and my LO is a toddler, so my hormones have leveled out. Thinking back to how I felt 3 months PP, I would not have been able to handle this post haha. So sweet and sentimental.

Can confirm I’m currently crying as my four month old is napping on me right now.

Also holding my sleeping 3 month old who rolled over for the first time today (and proceeded to do it over and over again while laughing). I'm way too emotional.

I have major baby fever too but my pregnancy and birth were so rough and traumatic. I think she might be my only one, which makes this feeling soooo much deeper. Enjoy every beautiful moment with your precious baby.

I cried writing it! I work in a grocery store and see sooo many moms with tiny babies and my heart aches. I had to let it out or I'd end up crying at work eventually lol

mommit
I was just saying that last night. People talk about kids as an 18+ year commitment like it's a life sentence, but I'm over here thinking that the last year has flown and I'm already scared at how fast the rest will follow. And I'm not crying, you're crying

Reminisce with her about these times just the same. It's wonderful for children to hear stories about their babyhood and young childhood as they grow up, and these stories combined with the photos and videos you take will help form an impression of her earliest years that isn't the same thing as a conscious memory but ...

Thank you, reddit grandma. It sounds like you've lived an absolutely beautiful life so far.
7,309,877

I’m sorry. That must be so hard! I would definitely get checked by a pediatrician and follow up to see if early intervention can help your little one. Having a baby is hard enough without stressing about each and every milestone that is being “missed”. I would also see if there is some help for you as well! I’m sure yo...

My boy will probably be my only and he’s 5.5 months old now and I cry often because I miss when he was tinier, parenthood is the biggest joy and the reason for a lot of sadness as they grow. I miss who he was everyday but I’m stoked to see him grow. It’s such a weird feeling

My baby is turning 3 and I feel the exact same way. It was so much harder when he was younger and I felt the stages slipping by so much faster.

Pictures like this make me think baby is sleeping next to its food. Its like us sleeping next to our fridge. Occasionally cuddling the fridge...having snacks from it and just hanging out around it.
7,309,886
mommit
I zoomed in because I honestly thought my husband uploaded a picture of me.
7,309,887
mommit
In case this might be useful to you (I saw the breastpad and thought of this), if you get a milkies milk saver you can save any breast milk that comes down from your let down while nursing instead of losing it in the breast pad.

Keep taking pictures like these. Capture these moments.

Aw. How precious. This is likely one of those pics your baby will cherish forever.

Love this. I wish I’d taken more of these pics early on. By the way - If the disposable nursing pads are as itchy/uncomfortable for you as they were for me, get some reusable bamboo ones on amazon! They were a lifesaver :)

Just put my two year old to bed after a long day and I’m feeling some small movement from baby #2 growing in my belly for the first time. Looking at this picture is giving me all the feels. Thank you for sharing!
