Where's my Baby?

This morning I finally got around to organizing little Eli's clothes. His 12 month shirts have been looking a bit small lately, which is not surprising since he is 19 months old now!

So I packed up his 12 month clothes and got out the 18 and 24 month clothes. As I put his "new" clothes in the drawers, I couldn't help but remember what Jonah looked like in those same clothes. It seems to me that Jonah was wearing them just yesterday, and I can't believe that Eli is big enough to wear them now.

He is getting to be such a big boy! I took a picture of him last week and noticed that he is starting to look more like a boy and less like a baby.

My baby boy no longer sleeps in a crib. He climbs up on everything and is not afraid of anything! My baby boy doesn't walk, he runs!

My baby boy is starting to talk so that we can actually understand what he is saying. He wants to do everything his big brother does and thinks he can do it all by himself!

I guess my baby boy is not a baby after all.
Isn't is amazing the difference a year can make?

Though he may not be a baby anymore,
he will always be my little boy.

  1. I deal with that same dilemma every time I switch my son's wardrobe...it's fun to watch them grow and mature, but it's hard to realize that they will never be that little baby anymore

  2. It really is amazing how much they change at that age. A year makes a HUGE difference!! I so badly need to go through my girls' dressers and get rid of the out-grown stuff, put the oldest's out-grown stuff into the youngest's dresser and move the new garbage bagfuls of hand-me-downs in the the oldest's dresser. (did you follow that?!) I'm not looking forward to it though, so I'm procrastinating. Sadly, that doesn't seem to keep them from getting older!!!!

    (Love the new profile picture ~ beautiful!!! I really like your hair that way.)

  3. I love his fuzzy hair in the 2nd picture. How cute. He is getting big. I can't believe he's only 24 month clothes...shows me how big Tristan really is. I mean, he's 2 but wears 3 or 4t.

  4. Putting away the too small clothes is a bitter sweet thing. They grow up way too fast! My daughter is a slow grower and we don't retire many clothes from being too small, but too worn out. No matter how big they are in size, they just keep getting older don't they? Your little guy is adorable!

  7. "Kid years" aren't the same as adult years (kind of like dogs, but I don't want you to think that I am comparing your kid to a dog, because I totally am not!!) That time when they move from baby to kid is unbelievably fast. He is so precious and cute!!!

  8. I didn't realize how big he's gotten until you posted those two pictures together. He's grown so much! Keep enjoying these little boy years.

  9. What a beautiful picture you took of your beautiful little guy! He really is a very cute kid! It is so hard to watch them lose that babyness. They are still fun, but there is just something special about a baby!
    Very cute post.
    If you'd like to stop by my blog I'm at Cake Crumbs.

  10. Your entry brought a tear to my eye. My daughter turned 16 months yesterday, and I just can't believe how fast it goes! Swapping out the wardrobe is by far the hardest!

    What a handsome little guy you have :)
