We’ve officially entered the month that you go to daycare and I go back to work. This month seemed so far away when you were born. And it was, five whole months with you already. Like any passage of time, though, lately, it’s shocking to realize the time has already come.
You’ve been such a blessing to me, little boy. For the first time, I don’t feel like I’m rushing your baby year. It took me two previous babies to really slow down. I don’t find myself eager to check off milestones. I’m so content to soak up your little-ness. Bask in the simplicity of gummy smiles and silly conversations. Enjoy the quietness of time away from the chaos, just nursing you.
I feel so fortunate to be your mommy. Nothing compares to the way your eyes search for me in a room. The way you settle when I pick you up, knowing that you’re safe and loved. Thank you for allowing me to get to experience babyhood just one more time.
Love always,
Mommy
Aw, that time really does fly by and it can be so hard to just soak it up all. I found that I was most able to do that with my youngest too and I didn’t know if it was just because I knew he was my last one or if it was because I had finally learned that lesson after having 2 others flying by.
A blessing to be able to slow down and just enjoy this last baby. 💙
