I've got on my list: -return to pre pregnancy weight (I've got 12 months to do it!) -reorganize/overhaul bonus room -get better at playing piano. I went back and looked at pictures of Bubbalu one year ago and was shocked how much he grew in one short year. I know I'll be thinking the same thing next year looking at pics of him and Lil Chick :) <abbr><em>Amanda- VintageDutchGirls last blog post..<a href="http://vintagedutchgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/baby-sithster.html" rel="nofollow">Baby Sithster...</a></abbr></em> I DO have some ideas for resolutions, but changed the name to “things I would like to accomplish in ’09″.

Thank you for this reminder! You literally blink and they're grown. Both my kids will be in school full time this next fall and I'm trying to cherish every single moment I have with our youngest as that mommy/daughter time 24/7 is almost gone. Both rarely need my help any longer and as it is nice, I do miss the baby/toddler/preschooler stages with helping them. :) <abbr><em>jeans last blog post..<a href="http://jeansjourney.blogspot.com/2009/01/2009-has-started-out-quietly.html" rel="nofollow"></a></abbr></em> This is so, so true.

But I know I will miss the cuddling and fun outings and just babyhood in general. So, I too am trying to be more aware of the little moments, reading books and doing puzzles and coloring.
