I don't think my Mom ever referred to me as her "baby" .. even before my younger sister was born. She was more about ... GROW UP, please. I just have one son. I can't imagine him being thrilled with me calling him my "baby". I should have done that when he was in the Navy in his Officer's uniform, however. My right as his Momma!
I remember that monster's birth. He wasn't a monster back then. He was a baby. But, knowing what I do now? I would have put a pillow over his moron head.
No she did not. I never really got to be "the baby" for any noticeable period of time. I was the first born. The oldest. Then rapidly came my sister. Then came another sister. Then a brother. Then another brother. I was their fearless leader. My siblings called me "Big Boy".
