Wern't These Jammies Supposed To Be Too Big?
I remember seeing these jammies that Doreen gave me at my baby shower. The tags said they were 3 to 6 month size but looking at them I thought they were huge! They looked so big! I thought that they were mislabeled and they were really for a 1 year old baby, not one 3 to 6 months old. Well, I put Andrina to bed last night wearing one of them and of course, it fit (even if it is a little roomy). I remember how tiny she was when she was born. I was holding her and looking at these "huge" jammies and I thought to myself that she'd never fit into them. Well of course I was wrong. Of course she grew to fit into them. But it seems amazing that she has grown so much in such a short amount of time. Yes I understand all about growth and development of babies from a biological and psychological perspective. But for me personally, emotionally, it is difficult to process even when the evidence is staring me in the face and there is no denying it. Like most moms, I'm sure, I get sad at times when I think of Andrina growing up. She is this wonderful, beautiful, perfect baby and it breaks my heart to think that it won't last forever. My only consolation is that she is so healthy and beautiful and with continued love and encouragement she will be capable of achieving whatever goals she sets for herself. And for me, as I take pride in all her accomplishments now, that will only continue. So maybe that is how I will cope with her growing up on me.

I remember you opening those PJs and saying that. I had a similar experience at my shower, and wouldn't you know it the 6-9 month overalls that looked like they would fit a 2 year old fit perfectly at 6-9 months. It's amazing how fast they grow. Each new stage is fun though and brings more joy to see them doing new things.
