          I was about 7 months pregnant with our first little one when I had this very odd dream. It was my dad and I standing with each other and I was holding a very large child on my hip. I was very concerned in my dream and I said, "dad, I just had my baby and he is so big. What's wrong with him?" I remember thinking how did I get here? I want to have a tiny baby to hold and my child is a giant. AND before I knew it the big baby was actually in my arms weighing a whopping 10lbs, 4oz. It was 14 years ago when we welcomed that sweet babe into our world and now hes basically our man child, 6'2" and 205 lbs. With that, we're also having to make decisions that go way beyond "when do we transition from a crib," or "what do we do about potty learning?" (Even though those are BIG consuming decisions at the time). One decision my parents never faced was, "when should we give our kids a cellphone?" We're now two months into our son
