The other day one of our friends came over and started talking to Matty, they had a real conversation. It was really cute to watch. A lot of the time you cannot understand exactly what Matt says, but you can get a general idea of what he is trying to say and he absolutely seems to be listening and processing everything that you say to him.
After the conversation our friend said, "Wow!! I just had a conversation with your son!" And I just shook my head and said, "Crazy, right? He is like a little human!" This sounds funny to say, because of course my son is a human... duh! But I think a milestone for parents is actually coming to terms with the fact that your child is in fact a human, just like you are.
I have had several moments where I am amazed by the fact that my son is acting like a human being. And all of them are exciting, but at the same time sad. This "becoming a human" thing makes him less and less my baby. Excuse me as I let out a loud *sigh*.....
I have these moments all the time!! It's so SAD!! I can't even look at him and see my baby anymore...because he is officially a "kid."
