My youngest is two and it is has been an amazing journey watching him morph into a fine young boy. I have two older kids as well, my daughter will be 17 and is morphing into a young lady and my oldest son will be 13 those difficult teen years are upon me again and he is turning into a young man as well.Christy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730414767785343296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411498686366661202.post-58598187296216311352013-08-27T12:19:25.369-07:002013-08-27T12:19:25.369-07:00Beautiful.

They do...Aww...how sweet, simply beautiful Rachel!! They do grow up soooo fast! Our daughter came over a few weeks ago, so we all got to sit around the kitchen table and catch up. To our kids' surprise, I pulled out a suitcase that I've had since they were babies, filled with things from their childhood(their first book bags, their cap and gown from Kindergarten, their first bibs, clothing they wore on baby, toddler and school pics that are on our bookshelves and so on and so). I didn't realize how many memories it would bring back, but boy it did! Can you imagine seeing a teenager and two 20 something year olds beaming as they looked at items from their past? I find myself looking in it every now and then. If you haven't I suggest you save some of your daughters items. She will cherish them when she's older. Our kids sure do! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely tribute to your daughter Rachel and thanks for linking up! Have a good one!Michell Pulliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01626012506118587609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411498686366661202.post-57109502868887839042013-08-23T14:08:39.686-07:002013-08-23T14:08:39.686-07:00So beautiful!

I feel the same way about my toddler right now; in fact, I noticed her canines were finally coming in and I felt this wave of sadness. Somehow that gap being filled in inside her mouth will make her look less like a baby and more like a kid. I was so sad about it.

Today I sat at the doctor's office with Isaiah and as he sat next to me looking like such a big boy, I longed so much for the days he had to sit in my lap because he was so nervous.
