Happy birthday, baby Charlie Linden!

Charlie was born 2 years ago, November 1st, 2005. It seems like a long, long time ago. I know most moms are supposed to say it went so fast, and of course I can't believe he is 2, because 2 sounds like a little kid, and he is not a little kid at all, he is a baby, but as I get older and as my children get older, I get more perspective on just how funny it is to think any 2 year old is a--quote--KID. But I know I thought little Greta was this big giant woman when she turned 2...its a firstborn thing....


So, the dear baby is turning 2 tomorrow. This is funny because that is the age when some folks get freaky about nursing, diapers, co-sleeping, etc. But he is just a little fat rollypoly baby, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow. His hands are little plump stumps, he walks like a duckie, he rides in a baby carrier, he sleeps in a crib. Sometimes.


So, I will save all my sniff sniffies for 3. He is still a baby, and we love him eternally. Happy birthday, little sweet baby head!

I love that you're not putting any time tables on nursing, diapers, etc.
My son is 16 and still my baby...

Mine is 2 in two weeks. I look at him and think he's huge, until I see him walking with his 6'4" daddy, and realize he is tiny, my little sweet babyboy, at least for a little while longer. I kiss his baby cheeks 100x a day because I know they won't last forever.

My "baby" is turning 3 in 2 1/2 weeks, and it is so sad to me that he has left babyhood behind forever. Happy, happy birthday to Baby Charlie, and may the next year be even better than the previous two.

HAPPY HAPPY birthday sweet baby and happy birthing day Mama!

You know what made Noah seem huge to me (he's 2.5)? Getting pregnant with his SECOND sibling! :-P
