You heard it from your parents. You heard it from your coworkers. You heard it from the lady in line behind you at the bank. Now you will hear it from me.

"They grow up so fast!"

It’s truer that I have ever imagined. I know Elliot is still a baby, but I am amazed at the speed he learns and accomplishes new things. It seems like yesterday we were leaving the hospital, and now he is on the verge of crawling around.

Take a ton of pictures, and videos. You only get one chance. I feel like I missed out on some great material. It might not be a big deal now, but I could have used it to embarrass him when I meet his first girlfriend... or every girlfriend.

As much as I can’t wait to see what Elliot learns and accomplishes at 6 and 7 months, I miss the 3 and 4 month Elliot. It’s such a strange feeling. You want him to grow up, but you don’t want to lose the Elliot you have now. He is so much fun!

My parents used to tell me that I wouldn't know the feeling till I had a son. Well I think I am beginning to understand, and to imagine that there is a lifetime more of this to come.

Remember, enjoy the time you spend with them because they grow up so fast.
