growing so fast!

[poptartsnmilk]

My 13 year old boy is growing like a WEED! It seems like he's grown a half a foot in about 3 months. Everything is getting bigger, his hands, feet, and I caught him coming out of the shower and down there seems to be growing very fast too. His voice is getting deeper, and he's getting so tall. I miss my little boy now!

I know what you mean!
My ds is 11 and I just took him shopping for shoes and I was amazed at the size we came home with....mens 7s...what the? and he wears a size 16 pants. I just don't believe it.
I mean, just the other day he was running the bubble mower out back with his dad and calling me "mommy", or so it seems.
It's cool to see them grow into men though, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I'm rather new to the forums so I was wondering what ds and the dd meant. Also, my son wears 18-20's now but has a few pairs of men's pants. It's crazy!

My 12 year old wears men's large t-shirts, 30-31 waist pants and size 9.5 shoes. The same size as dh! He hasn't even begun the voice changes, etc. - although his legs are getting very hairy. He's very blond, so the body hair kinda sneaks up on ya! Some of his friends are going through the voice deepening...pretty cool to watch all these great little boys turn into great men!

My ds had a pimple on his cheek the other day...he asked me what this thing is on his baby soft cheek was, and I had to laugh...saw another buddy of his and lo and behold..right on his chin..pimple..SIGH miss my little boy..not liking the hormones that are coming along with the pimple, but it's all part of the circle.so i will hold on tight and enjoy the ride

dd is dear/darling, or sometimes darned daughter, and ds is the same, except for son
Sometimes you see dh/dp which will be husband or partner
