While there, I struck up a conversation with some of the other moms, whose babies were right around Nicolas&#8217; age. All the babies were &#8220;cruising&#8221; and a few were walking, but none were as active (or, obviously, as big) as Zoe, and one of the moms, after meeting Zoe and learning her age, said, &#8220;It&#8217;s so fun to see what we have to look forward to!&#8221; I was completely jolted by her comment, and I couldn&#8217;t help but internally rewind to past events in which *I* was the one to make that comment to other moms. For so many months, Zoe was the little baby &#8211; the one who wasn&#8217;t crawling, walking, running, etc. &#8211; and I would look to other babies\/tots (just a few months older than her) with a sense of anticipation and awe. Suddenly Zoe is the &#8220;big kid&#8221; who other moms look to for a taste of what their future holds &#8211; and I&#8217;m still amazed that this is the case. <\/p>\n<p>Time really flies.<\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image1458\" alt=in-wagon.JPG src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/in-wagon.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoe&#8217;s friend Nicolas (son of Q&#8217;s boss and my friend Chanda) turned one last week, and the three of us went to his birthday party on Sat.
