AWWE! They'll still always be your babies, not to worry. My girls were around 1 year old when I got them, I missed their youth, but still consider them my babies. Even my 9 year old little dragon is still my "little baby dragon" (I call him that sometimes), and of coarse my dog, who is almost 3 1/2 is still my baby. It's like they never really grow up in my eyes. I have a son going on 26 this year, I don't call him my baby anymore, but in my heart, he still is, and he knows it.
