Where did my baby go?

I've always thought Kaitlyn is this tiny skinny little girl as she is still under 10kgs (lost 200gms the last 2 weeks). Then yesterday morning, she woke up hysterical, screaming her head off. So I had to go in and cuddled her for a while. As I cuddled her, I was like wow, she's BIG. After handling a newborn for a couple of weeks, I realised how big and grown up my baby girl really IS. She's definitely not a "baby" anymore, but more of a child!

It seemed like only yesterday we brought her home from hospital and only last week that we were having countless sleepless nights trying to get her to eat and sleep properly. Then, all of a sudden, she's so grown up! She's now more than half of my height and is able to have proper conversations with us, and is eating everything we eat!

Time goes by way too fast, and when you have kids, you see such tangible evidence of it going by, every single day, in your growing child(ren). Just where did my precious little baby girl go?! I cuddled her for as long as I could yesterday morning, before Max woke up for another feed. I am too afraid that the next time I get to hug her, I'd be sending her off to school, or university.
