I love my 10 month old baby boy and I'm ecstatic with every milestone. At the same time though, I just wish he could stay this small forever. I break out in tears everytime I think about him growing up and not needing me anymore. I just feel like I can't cherish this time enough. Soon, he won't need to nurse. Soon, he'll be too big to hold or carry. Soon, he'll grow up.

That is pretty much the nature of the beast Im afraid. It feels like I brought my son home yesterday and he will be three in a few months. I enjoy all of the things that he does now yet I miss the things he no longer does anymore. Every stage of motherhood is a gift, and in all honesty I actually enjoy my son more now than I did when he was an infant. But I sometimes wish I can enjoy each stage of his childhood a little longer than I get to. the best advice I can give is just to cherish all the little moments you have now and enjoy it, because they do grow up way too fast.

AWWW! I am soooo glad that im not the only one who feels this way! My husband always asks whats wrong...and all i can say is im happy and sad at the same time. I have an 8 month old daughter, and she hit all of her milestones pretty early, so i feel like i havent gotten enough time with her as a baby! Our little ones will be 1 year old soon, and that tears me up....where did this year go so quickly??? I know i hear all these other moms saying wait until they drive you crazy and all that, but even they will eventually miss the days when their kids drove them crazy. I am terrified that my daughter will grow up and not need me and she will move away and get married and start her own life.....gosh...this probably didnt make you feel much better, but im glad to know that im not the only one who cries when i think of those things. Dont worry though...lets just make sure to cherish every moment we have!!!!!

i kind of had the opposite. My baby was sooo fussy and colicky i just wanted that phase to be over, then I would feel so bad because i wasn't enjoying his babyhood like I wanted to.
He is now 21 months, still nursing, but much much happier!

oh yea when my son was born i was so exausted that i wanted him get older so he would sleep longer in the night but now he is almost walking and curious about everything. now i just wish he was small all over again. and i also wish he was at the age he could do more things by himself without my help.
