Not Ready!

Dear.....um. Growth Spurt-

You are making my son grow up too fast. Just a little over 14 months ago he was born. A baby. Someone who needed his mommy to do everything for him. Feed him. Change him. Hold him. Carry him from place to place. Now, because of you he thinks he can do everything himself. He doesn't even need me around anymore. It started when you decided he was old enough to sit up by himself, then he was old enough to eat baby food, then to crawl, and walk. Old enough, to eat the same foods his mom and dad eat. To run, to look at books, play with toys, dance to his favorite songs, to play with his friends, and to laugh. To talk. Yes, that came so fast....

And Many More...
His latest one..
SERIOUSLY or "Siasly"

And now because of you, he has no need for his bottle. The one thing that I thought he would have such a hard time to let go, was not even a big deal to him. Last night he pushed it away, as if he were telling me, "I am too grown up for a bottle, Mom." You are making him grow up too fast. Thanks, for the help with the bottle situation. It really did make my job easier. But, don't you realize that this is my baby! The one we tried for, for so long, and you are making him grow up so fast. Please if you can, slow this process down just a little bit. I want to enjoy this part of his life longer. I have too many plans for him, that I need to save up for, that I am not prepared for. Like, college, and medical school, and a mission, and a car, and other very important things.

So, Please....Mr. growth spurt. Please. Let my baby be a baby for a little bit longer. I am not sure I am ready for him to be a little boy..yet.

Thanks,
Not ready!
