It is SOOOOOOO sad they grow so quickly and if everyone could just realize how very short of time they are babies, I think they would cherish and relish that time so much more instead of acting like it is an inconvenience. You can NEVER hold a baby too much or kiss and love on them too much! <BR/><BR/>I agree, you will have a blast making all those quilts for that big girl bed!
