I miss my two year old....

  This is a picture from September 20th of last year.  A year ago.  I thought he was so grown up then.  Now I miss the baby that he really was. How is it that as we go along, I think "He's all grown up now. He's a big boy. No more baby."  but then I look back a pictures and think, "He was such a baby and I thought he was so grown up." Why can't I appreciate his baby-ness in each phase instead of thinking it's over, only to miss it later.  *sigh*  That's being a parent I guess.  He's such a cool kid and has always seemed all grown up, but I know in reality he'll always be my baby. *tear*
