Growing up!

All of the sudden, it seems like Carson is so grown up! We went to get some new shoes today because he is still trying to squeeze his feet into the old ones, and I decided it just wasn't working anymore. As we were trying them all on, we decided that his feet were now a size 10!!!! Can you believe it, I can't! I swear they just grow over night. As I cleaned out his closet this week, we found the huge spectrum from size 7 through size 9. So we got rid of all of the 7 and 8's and now only have 9 and 10's. Miraculously, they all fit on the shelf now, weird huh?

Since Carson was born, I have tried to really enjoy each "phase" that we was in, and not look forward to the next. i.e. I can't wait for Carson to walk. I can't wait for Carson to talk. Anyhow, I just kind of enjoyed the time we were able to spend together, and therefore haven't really been sad about the times we've moved past. This week was hard though! It is really the first time I felt sad about him growing up. He has dropped "mommy" and "daddy" from his vocabulary. He now refers to us simply as "mom" and "dad". "Thanks mom, ok dad." The only exception that has kept me smirking to myself has been after he is finished going to the bathroom, and yells "I'm done mommy, please come wipe my bum!" I guess I have to soak it up where I can get it huh?
