You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh...The sentimental things apply as time goes by..." Que sappy music..
Well, Baby C will be 9 months old this weekend. He is growing so fast that sometimes I feel like I can't catch my breath..When he was a just a tiny newborn, everyone told me that I should enjoy every moment because it goes by SO fast. In my new mommy hood sleep deprived state, I didn't quite understand, or to be honest, believe them. I was knee deep in dirty diapers and had a newborn who was colicky and would scream for hours on end. To me, the only thing that was going by quickly was my hearing loss.
I find myself just staring at my child. How did this happen, how did my screaming puddle of goo turn into a crawling, babbling, solid food eating baby? I am a little sad about it. Not that I want to go back to him as a newborn, but I wish I could hit pause and smell his head a little bit longer or rock him to sleep for a little longer. Some nights, after he has fallen asleep in my arms, I continue to hold him. It helps with the feeling that he is slipping away.
The fact that he is growing and thriving and hitting all of his milestones makes me proud and thankful. But can't he do it a little slower? My little man is changing and growing. I suppose it wont be long until he walks and says actual words..I can wait - right now, I will enjoy the musical babbling and the "uh oh's"..
