Can someone please tell me where my baby went?

I mean, didn’t I just become her mother yesterday?  Because I’m pretty sure my baby is, well… missing.

I swear I just blinked my eyes for a split second and when they opened again this girl was standing before me.

An absolutely beautiful, wild haired, funny child who looked a lot like my baby, but oh so different.

This girl talks a lot.  And laughs at jokes.  And makes jokes of her own.  My baby didn’t use to do that.

If you see my baby will you please tell her I didn’t realize I should have made an appointment to say goodbye?  And while you’re at it, go ahead and tell this new girl hello, because I am absolutely sure I will keep her around as long as I can.  And I swear I will try really hard not to blink for the next few years.

Happy Mother’s Day to us all.

    Maybe you can shave her head and get the baby back!

    But you might miss all that personality that’s coming out right now. I think you should rename her “Sunshine”

    Yep – you are so right. I’m a new mom in my mid-forties. I hope I remember these wonderful times. I spent Mother’s Day at Chuck E Cheese! Hope your day was great!

    Little girls fly in the blink of an eye
    Mothers will shed a tear or two
    They’ll dance to their own beat
    and sing in the breeze, before you know
    they’ll be twenty-two…

    Watch carefully… Little ones turn into little girls, into little teenagers into women… overnight. What seems like a long year to you, will be a blink of your eye. Watch closely!

    Love, NONA— whose little girl is now a mom of her own! ;-D
