Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

I’m a little sleep-deprived, so I apologize in advance for what will likely be a brief and inarticulate post. The reason for my current state is nothing bad, mind you.

It’s just that…well, Toopweets cut two teeth, said three new words, and learned to walk, all in the space of twenty-four hours.

Toopweets' subtitles: "Dog dog! Dog dog! Hooray! Hi!" And please note: In real life, I don't actually speak the way I do here. That's my supa special, high-pitched "I'm speaking to a baby" voice. You like?

This whole “baby” thing?

It’s going too fast.

In point of fact, one could say that I don’t even have a baby now, but a toddler. Who is toddling. Everywhere. In a now-bipedal fashion.

Do they have pause buttons? Or something?

Because (aside from all the usual, sappy mom reasons) if the following video is any indication, I’m actually quite scared of the next milestone.

Funny how some things come in spurts with these little ones.

There is no pause button, and the ride just goes faster and faster.

UGH, Toops is so cute. I totally love how they (the babies) look/move when they first walk!

That baby is way too cute for words. I love how they hold their fists up when they start walking, like, "VICTORIOUS!"

mr. is adorable!

and i'm afraid, i don't like the growing too fast myself.

i was giving celia a bath last night. stunned by how much older she looked to me, i asked her how old she was.

in my mind's eys, she's around 2. she replied "four mommy and then i'll be five."

i got misty-eyed and hugged her and said she wasn't allowed to grow up past five.

but, i can't make such a demand and dude, it would totally suck if she was like, 30 living at home and acted like a five year old.

Way to go, Toop!

Dear Lord, the potty video! Does this mean you have to teach Toopweets to speak Japanese as well?

Speaking of him, so cute as usual, and isn't a chubby little baby walking around the cutest thing?
Also, I think everyone sounds like that when they talk to babies, so no fault to you there.

That potty video is a complete riot! I am coming upon that milestone soon. Maybe I should get me one of those potty bars and sing-a-long. Good grief! :D

Yea he's walking! I loved that phase. Enjoy!

He. Is. ADORABLE!! And? I have a daughter...she's not betrothed yet. I'm just sayin'...

Again. He is too cute for words! Maybe it's time for "business"...you need to make another cute one! ;)

Way to go, little man!
You have officially been crowned the Queen of YouTube. You always post the craziest links here and I love you for it.
Sometimes I still laugh quietly to myself about the Henry Winkler PSA.

Thank God for subtitles....but he is one adorable toddler. If you figure out the pause button thing, please tell me where it is located because I plan on using it sometime soon. Thanks.

Thank you, Metalia. I have been feeling particularly shitty for nothing but self-absorbed reasons today, but Toopweets totally made me smile. :-)
