I told him the other day I was going to have to stop soon, and that made me sad. His reply melted my heart. "I know, because I'm your baby and I'm getting sooo big."

He is so damn cute. You can tell Charlie that he is cute enough that I will come carry him around when he gets to big for you. He is so damn cute.

I guess at 2 when her sister was born. I do recall that I had to stop carrying my second child because she was so tall that I could not see past her head. My son is the youngest at 5...he has 10- and 12-year-old sisters. I savored everything about his babyhood and toddlerhood. I liked carrying him as he was relatively easy to carry...not much fidgeting. The problem at 2 he was as tall as and as heavy as a 3-4 year old. So, I soldiered on for another year, but by 3 I was done. He was too cumbersome. I was sad. I missed snuggling his neck as we walked somewhere.
