Mom's of older LO's (well older then Emily)
How do you deal w/ them growing up and getting so big so fast?
I had a meltdown last night because of Emily growing up SO fast. She's so independent like she always wants to feed herself (bottle and all). She won't take Gerber food anymore because we have to feed it to her. If she doesn't feed herself then she doesn't want it.
She's pulling herself up and will walk if we hold her hands. She's getting into EVERYTHING.
Just so much is happening so fast and I can't take it all. She's not my little baby anymore. 
I know, I know that it's life but UGH I can't deal.
Re: Mom's of older LO's (well older then Emily)
Enjoy it! Believe me, when they turn 2 it's even worse. (which probably isn't helping you at all).
But when you look back a year from now you'll go, wow! I can't believe I thought she was so grown up then.
David now tells us to go away or stop it if we come by when he is doing something he isn't supposed to. He's even more independent that he was at Emily's age. However, there are the added bonus'. He says "I lub you" and "kisses/hugs pease".
I'm kind of going through the same thing as you. I have an almost 2.5 year old and I can' believe how fast time has gone. The child is over 3 feet tall and no longer looks like a baby, he's a little boy. I miss the days when he was tiny and so dependent but at the same time, I love the little person he is becoming.
Overall, just cherish these memories and look forward to the fututure little girl she will become.
I know Mel. Just thinking about her really talking and running around makes it even worse. I can't wait for her to grow up so I can play catch with her and such but I CAN WAIT!
I picked her up right before she feel asleep last night and just let her fall asleep on me. I NEVER do this but it was was so soothing just to hear her sleep/snore in my arms.
Mark said that this must be why people have 5-6-7 kids is because they miss the baby stage so much.
I def. miss that stage and hopefully by next year this time, we will have another little one (well that's the plan at least)
I love when they are sleeping, they are so innocent and not getting in trouble ;o)
We all have those moments and I'm sure they'll continue:
First day of school
Kindergarten graduation
First overnight with friends
Driving (OMG this scares me)
Dating (scares me too)
Highschool Graduation
College Graduation
Marriage
First Baby
OMG Mel stop!! lol
Okay, okay I will enjoy this stage before she starts driving!
I'm sorry, I'm trying to be helpful but really I'm not.
I guess what I was attempting to say, that this is normal and expected. Our DH's will never understand why we get so sentimental.
All you can do is enjoy the memories and document them as much as possible. She'll appreciate it when she's older and so will you.
Ya Mel, I know. I appreciate the effort.
I just really needed to talk to a Mom because, just as you said, our husbands don't understand.
Even though I'm not a mom, it's freaking me out how fast Logan's growing. My sister wrapped him up in a blanket (I'm sure there's a special name for it, I call it Burrito Baby) the other day and he looked SO big. The last time I saw him like that was the day after he was born and he was so itty bitty.
I want her to have another baby right now so I will always have one that lets me hold him and will sleep on me.

I know Nolan is younger but he will be four months on friday and i keep thinking where has all that time gone. Where is my teeny tiny baby with red hair!?! He only has red hair in the back now and blonde on top so dont ask me what is going on
I told you how he moved to the big bottle now and i keep saying where did my small baby go.
Like mel said just look forward to the fun things to come. Trust me i know its hard, Nick doesnt get the concept of why i want him to stay small.
