My baby is not a baby anymore. I didn’t want to admit it, but I have to do it. Handsome is a big boy and no longer my tiny baby. The proof is in the photos, kids.
This was my little guy last year on Valentine’s Day:
And this is the Valentine’s Day pic I took last night after holding him down for all of 12 seconds:
Crazy what a year does huh? He’s growing so quickly I’m sure he’ll have a mustache by next year.

Right! They grow entirely too fast.
Oh my goodness. What. A. Doll. My “baby” is nearly 11 months old, but he celebrated his first V Day AND won’t sit still for 12 seconds.

HA! Yeah, it’s hard to think that my “baby” isn’t a baby anymore. Crazy how fast they grow. People aren’t joking when they tell you to enjoy them while they’re little.
That boy has one FULL head of hair! I bet he makes other little girls jealous with those locks!

Yes he does! He’s only had one small trim so far, and that was only so people wouldn’t take him for a girl. And yet they still do. Go figure!

Thanks Jocelyn! I wonder what they’ll look like next year? Crazy!
Pictures like this make me smile! I look at pics from a year ago of my son (2 yrs) and wonder where the time & that baby went.

Yes! The other day I held up a picture of Handsome at 6 months and asked him “where is this baby? Do you know him?” He looked at me and started laughing, saying “no mama.” It’s crazy to think how quickly they change. It’s both sad and awesome at the same time.

Wild, right? Thanks, I love his hair too!
I know what you mean! Handsome is gorgeous! Do you remember Pedro when he was that age …and now this year he will be turing 18 and a senior in highschool!! It seems alot of the comments are from people that still have baby babies….I have to say that my baby baby is 11 years old and will be turing 12 this year! ;( I look back at all the baby pics and you know I have to admit Im like the little kids that say “I want one”…;) Keep them babies as long as you can! If you think he has grown up fast now just wait till he starts kinder…its all down hill after that! LOL Love ya sista!

He looks impossibly older in that second pic . . . yet, still “young.”
Toddler aging is a truly mystifying event.

Right? It’s crazy how quickly my once tiny baby boy morphed into a full sized toddler. Nobody believes it when I say he was born 7 weeks early. He just doesn’t look like the typical “preemie” baby.

A year really makes such a difference at that age – he looks so much older this year!

Yes he does. It’s crazy that it’s only been 12 months since that first pic was taken. Wild!
if it’s any comfort, his shirts totally rock.

Yes they sure do! And no that’s not comforting at all.
My son is so very handsome and smart. I do not know how he got so big, so fast……….
Oh, he’s gorgeous!!! What a doll. It’s really scary how fast they grow up. I look at pics from my son’s first Valentine’s last year to this year, it’s amazing.

Awe thanks, Amanda! Yeah, where does the time go? He looks nothing like he did last year. Funny, I still look just as awesome as I did last year. Maybe even better. Ha!
I love all of his hair in the second picture, and his ladies man shirt. So cute.

Thanks, Carly! I loved that shirt as soon as I saw it.

You’re right – he’s a little boy now! With TONS of hair! And I must say, he continues to live up his moniker… so handsome.

Happy SITS Day!
My sister and I spent ALL DAY yesterday updating and redoing my parents wedding album so we could mail it to them for the 40th wedding anniversary next weekend. I was stunned, looking back at the pictures, by how big my children are… and how little they really were when their dad left… I mean I know this, but looking a those pictures while making a wedding album… it sort of just hit me… odd

What a cutie! What do I see? Lots more hair – but most important – a much brighter smile! Hope your little Handsome had a great Valentine’s Day!

I like that the posts are very short.
So. Cute! I’m in total denial with my little girl who just turned two. They grow up way too fast! Thanks for sharing your blog today!
