No crying at the dinner table!

Cole has officially claimed the chair at the "head" of the dining room table which is good since abandoning the high chair now makes the Molly takeover an easier transition. So, last night, Keith went ahead and put the Kaboost! on the chair (have you seen these? genius!) and Cole happily was at table-level with us. I put Molly in the high chair - with some toys since she has no concept of food (solely the large buffet for her still!) - and watched as she quickly put her toes and feet on the table. It was at that moment...looking from Cole as a big boy to Molly in a high chair...that I started crying. My babies are getting big, so quickly and for a moment I understood why some people just seem to keep having babies. That understanding lasted all of a minute, though, because all babies grow up and one really can't just keep having babies!!!
The rest of the story - to explain the weepiness - involves going through Molly's clothes so we can start sending the stuff she outgrows to Lani who found out Friday she's expecting a girl!
I've heard it all my life, kids just grow up so quickly but for mommies, I think, it is just too quickly!!
