Where did my baby go?

I’m lying in bed next to my toddler right now and I genuinely cannot process how fast this has all gone. 21 months. How?!

It feels like yesterday I was in that hospital bed holding this tiny, delicate little thing for the first time. Now I pick him up and his feet are past my hips. The same baby who fit entirely in my arms.

He talks, he runs, he’s got this whole personality. He’s so silly, so funny, so full of energy and life. And I love every second of it. My heart is so full, it could burst.

What’s getting to me is that somewhere between then and now, without me noticing, he crossed this invisible line from baby into little person. And I’m equal parts amazed and completely undone by it.

Does anyone else get hit by this out of nowhere at ridiculous o’clock at night? Please tell me I’m not alone 😭🤍

I just finished watching Reminders of Him and I sobbed. What made it so powerful for me was that I experienced it less as a conventional romance. You know, boy meets girl, fall in love, drama unfolds, they end up together. But more as a moving story about a mother and daughter finding their way back to each other. Being a mother myself completely changed how I received it.
