This week Wyatt got a new car seat. Because he is a big boy {21.25lbs} and he is over the weight limit for his infant seat. For some reason the picking, purchasing, and installing the seat was no big deal- but when I put him in that “big boy” seat for the first time.. my head started to spin.
It feels like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant.
Just yesterday I was staring at this little piece of plastic with such disbelief. After 8 months of trying, after thinking it was impossible, there it was- proof that I was going to become a mother.
And as he grew in my stomach, from the size of a peanut…
To the size of what felt like a watermelon… My love for him grew as well.
And then the day came, the best day of my life. The day he was born and I was able to hold him, kiss him, and marvel at everything that was him.
In an instant he became the most important thing in my world, my treasure.
I knew this day would come, the day when I would have to take him out of his “baby seat”, out of that wrapping that made him look like a baked potato. But it came too fast. He’s growing too fast.
I just want it all to slooooooow down.
Here’s to slowing things down, enjoying every minute, and appreciating our blessings.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Oh girl, you are singing my song! My heart aches at least a few times every day as I see my girls getting older and bigger and less baby. Enjoy these sweet days!!
I am trying my hardest to take things a bit slower around here. Sometimes things just get so crazy & I have to remind myself! Get that Etsy store up missy- I can’t wait to see it!
yes..i know what you are talking about….it gets bittersweet as they get older…and move away, graduate college, get happily married…you as a mom are soo happy they have become what you prayed for…but as a mom…you still miss your baby!!!
i am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
I can’t imagine Wyatt older and moving out. I am going to be crying all over the place when that happens. But, I guess that’s just another thing I’ll have to learn how to do- to be strong for him! Heading on over right now! 🙂
Kids grow way too fast! You’re right about enjoying every single minute 🙂
Maria, it literally feels like yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant- now in a few short months Wyatt will be a year old! Time goes by too fast!
aww so sweet! My husband and I were looking at car seats the other day & he picked out a toddler seat and thought that they only used one from birth on! lol It is amazing how fast they grow!! Especially when you are so aware of how they start and all of their tiny little developments! We were just saying how crazy it was that we were so excited that our baby was the size of an appleseed and now he/she is 6 inches long!
That is exciting! Make sure to write everything down! What you’re feeling, most excited about, etc. These are the little things you’ll want to remember about being pregnant 🙂
It really is crazy how fast time goes. I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first and I feel like we just found out yesterday! I can’t wait for him to get here and we can start our new life with our little guy!

Aww.. I never thought a car seat could cause some nostalgia. :] On another note, even if every car seat made in the US passed certain safety standards, some problems might still occur. Always make sure that the seat is the best fit for the car and not only for the baby. So we can make sure Wyatt has the safest ride every time.
