WW – “Face” It – He’s Almost TWO!

by


My baby is nearly TWO.

The other day after he had a snack and later did some sidewalk chalk “art” in the driveway, he ran around chasing bubbles and laughing as the bubble machine spit them out by the hundreds. And when he stopped for just a moment I snapped this picture (please notice snack on shirt and chalk on face). I never wanted the bubbles to stop coming because I could listen to the sound of his sweet, sweet laughs ALL. DAY.

And they ARE glorious. But then, I sat and wondered where my baby went and how I let two years just fly right on by. Bad, bad Mommy!

So yeah, it’s almost here and I have to live with it (the birthday, that is). Father Time needs to become a couch potato and stop marching on so dang-blasted fast. Just a suggestion, Sir.

And just so y’all know, I think I kiss that face about 80 billion times a day. It’s just SO incredibly easy…

P.S. Thanks so much for your supportive comments from my post yesterday. They meant A LOT. : )

  4. He is gorgeous.

    Evie turns two on the 13th. And trust me, you are NOT alone in your feelings. Where the heck did the time go??

  7. If you think 2 came fast just wait until he graduates from college like my “baby” is this Saturday!

  8. I know what your mean my youngest turns two on September and I watch her now following after her sisters wandering what happened to the little baby that only wanted to cuddle with me all day. It goes way to fast. Great pic by the way handsome young man. 🙂

  9. My guy is turning 10 soon sooo… we made the big decision to try for another one:) I see that you are pregnant again too:) You go girl!

  11. I hear ya!! Time goes so incredibly fast. My little man will 5 in the fall and he will start kindergarten. And I have no clue where that time went. And I still kiss his face about 80 billion times a day. 🙂

  17. Aww. My son is rapidly approaching 2, as well, and it blows my mind. Every day there are new words, new physical milestones … and of course, new tantrums. It’s great to watch them grow, but so sad at the same time!

  18. I LOVE this picture–so sweet!

    And 2?! 2?! When did time start going in overdrive? And will it please slow down?

  19. Such a kissable face! Too precious. And I agree that Father Time comes too quickly . . . my babies are 23, 25, and 27 . . . when did that happen?

  22. You never want them to grow up when they are little and cute! Then they grow older and smellier and smart-aleckie and you find yourself looking at apts online for them.

  25. I totally support your plea to Father Time. Yes, please, take it easy Mr Time!! At least you’ll soon have another little baby to dote on. :o)

  26. I know, I know – way too fast!! Great picture of Little G – you even managed to get some bokeh in the background!!

  30. Isn’t there something we can buy on Ebay to keep our babies, babies! Ugh… makes me frown that they are getting so big. That face of your sweet boy brought the brightest smile to my face. Great WW.

  34. Just now catching up… I just wanted you to know I will be lifting you in prayer. Sounds like you have a lot on your mind and in your heart.

    Things are kind of slow on my end too. I can never figure it out either.

  37. I love these non posed pictures that capture a moment in time, the crumbs, the chalk. A lot more meaning and emotion in this picture than a posed picture. He is just adorable, chalk, cookie crumbs and all.

  38. Awwww-I agree w/ya….slow it down father time!!! I look up to my oldest baby, the boy is turning into a young man, and the baby well she isnt much of a baby anymore.
    I love the pic, hahha we have been doing th esidewalk chalk A LOT lately too!

  41. I would kiss that face 80 billion times a day too!
    What a cutie!!!
    My only advice?
    Don’t. blink.
    I just did and my babies are now
    13, 10, and 5!
    How did that happen?

  44. They really do grow way too fast! With each birthday it gets a little more sad. I would kiss that sweet little face 80 billion times a day too. I know my poor son doesn’t get a break from the mommy hugs and kisses throughout the day. Gotta get them while I still can. LOL

  45. He is a cute lil blondie. My guy is almost 9 months and it seems like I just had him, I am sure “2” will be here before I know it.
