when did you get so big?

I had the joy of meeting (and holding) a new little baby today. He had a tiny little body with legs and arms all still curled up. And like all new babies he had that desire to be close to a warm body. As he looked up at me with his big beautiful eyes I looked down at...

my behemoth baby playing on the floor.

I had to blink back tears.

When did you get so big, little sprout?

I mean, I know you've grown a bit since you were born. You don't exactly fit into those clothes any more. But I just never realized how much you've grown.

It is not insignificant, that's for sure.

Sniff sniff... you are growing up far too fast.
