May. 13, 2008 - Last Firsts
Since I first became a mother about 12 years ago, I've had a nearly constant parade of "firsts" in my home.
First smile. First tooth. First word. First step. First stitches.
Because our last child is the official caboose (due to medical reasons), I've been acutely aware of these "last firsts" we have gotten to experience in his life.
The last first smile. The last first tooth. The last first word. The last first step.
It seems so weird to be here at this point in my life. For the first time since we started having children, we don't have a baby in the house. We have plenty of action with a 2-year-old on the loose, don't get me wrong, but I recognize that we are moving into a new stage.
So, here's the thing, I'm going to stop and really enjoy these "last firsts." They are very precious. Here's a picture of one we experienced today:
Uhhh.....looks like it's time for a haircut!
Here we go! Hold reaaallly still!
From baby to little boy in 10 minutes!
Enjoy your "last firsts."

I completely know what you are feeling! Do you get that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach when you pass the baby clothes department? I enjoyed your haircut pics.
