Dear friends of ours just had a little baby girl, and as I look at her, I find that I don't really have any strong memories of my children at that age. Sure I remember each of their births, but the memory is fading. This makes me sad because I'm finding out that what a lot of older parents say is true, you do forget a lot of these moments but only because as your children get older you have other memories and moments to supplant them.
Still, as I sit there rocking my son to sleep, thinking about what an awesome kid he is, I don't want to loose those memories.
But I already have. If it weren't for some videos we took of our daughter when she was my son's age, I would have had a hard time recollecting her earlier moments too. So I guess it is inevitable, but I still think it sucks.
