Sleeping Baby

For the past couple of months, ever since Oscar started standing, I've been thinking of him as a little boy instead of a baby. He does a lot of boy-like things (if I may generalize), like yelling, spitting, hitting, throwing, and banging. I love his little boy energy and his sense of humor. I get caught up in how quickly he grows and changes and I look forward to each new development.

Then there are moments like last night. He was having trouble falling asleep, so I came upstairs to nurse him again (he is easily distracted while nursing, so he often doesn't eat enough). He nursed for a long time, and fell soundly asleep. I was about to get up and dump him in his crib, when suddenly I could see the little baby he was for such a short time.

So I forgot everything I wanted to get done and I just held and rocked my baby boy, because time moves faster than ever before, and I wanted to cherish this moment.

I Capture Perfect Moments.

    This is a beautiful post!

    I often find myself saying to myself, "THIS IS THE BEST TIME, PLEASE LET HIM STAY LIKE THIS A LITTLE LONGER!"

    But then when he grows up a bit by walking or helping me dress him, I say that exact same phrase again. I hope I always enjoy each stage so much

    In those moments when you realize how fleeting is all is, there is perfection. You are THERE, paying attention with every cell.

    Don't you wish you could bottle it up and savor it a little more? Because I really wish that I could. Mimi being my last child, well, that just makes me so sad.
