They grow up so fast! Baby Sam is now 1 year old.
I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times I heard people say that kids grow up so fast.
Admittedly It has gotten worse since my own friends have them.
But looking at Baby Sam this week I guess they do have a point.
(For anyone that does not know. Sam is my sister's kid.)
Every time I see him he changes.
This is a picture of me 11 months ago. Sam is one month old here.
His little bottom fits into 1 hand of my hands :)
Just 4 months later he looks like this. Bianca took this picture after we (mostly she) successfully changed his diaper.
It was an adventure and we were both relieved we came out victorious (me and Sam that is). This is probably one of my favorite photos with him.
He must have doubled in size or more!
I guess to make him grow like that he needs to participate in one my favorite activities. Eat food.
And my goodness does he eat a lot.
I also know now he gets grumpy when he's hungry.
Just like me :)
Teaching him how to grill is something I look forward too. It's an essential skill to learn I think. This is 3 months ago. He's 9 months old here.
And this is this week. Almost 1 year old. Incredible! He's so big.
It's been a year and I don't think that I have changed that much.
Same glasses, Same face, Same beard.
But Sam! He will never ever be that small again.
It truly is a one-way trip to utterly enjoy as a parent.
Funny to realize that to be honest, because I am not even one.
Yet.
It's going to be interesting for him when he will be older and will read this post and all of the comments, an online account of his childhood :)
Happy birthday !
Next comes walking and talking, you may get a new name, because he can't get his tounge around yours, wear it with pride, it will last the rest of your life.
In 17 years he can take you down for a beer, theres something to look forward to.
fantastic post my friend, babies are wonders, babies are fun, it's nice to see baby sam again and yes he is growing up beautifully, well all the photographs are so cool and attractive, especially the one in which baby sam is just 4 months old, Wishing you happiness and new joys in your life with baby sam. Stay awesome and thanks for sharing.

Without a doubt, kids are fun!

@exyle,
Yeah friend they grow faster! My son is at his 2 years now! Same scenario I still feel him as the new born baby :D But now he is older as you said! Time goes faster than we imagine!
Cheers~
Happy birthday Sam!!
Buddy, I am the same. I always kind of blew it off when people told me they grow up so fast before, but then I had my own kids.... and my God, they are right! They grow up so damn fast. And they seem to change just about every week. It's amazing to watch, but also makes you wish you could hit the pause button sometimes.
