And I have a 6-month-old!
If the first six months can go by that quickly with cuddles and frequent nap times, I can’t imagine how fast it will fly now that I’m beginning to chase his every move!
“No-no don’t touch that”
“Ouch, that is mommy’s hair”
“Time for a baby gate”
“Is that baby food in your hair?”
“Honey, have you seen all the electrical covers I bought?!”
It is so fun to watch Ren develop and learn. I am utterly amazed at how quickly their little minds soak up everything around them!
I know time won’t slow down, I talk about it way too much… but I find it an important reminder to slow myself down, take a look at my surroundings, count my blessings and just BE.
BE in the moment.
BE present.
BE thankful.
I saw a quote yesterday, somewhere on social media (during some procrastination exercises) that read something like this…
“Your kids will be who you are, so be who you want them to be!”
Some good food for thought. These little milestones encourage me to reflect on and savor these precious times I have with Ren.
We must be doing something right… he’s growing like a weed and I get to see this million-dollar-smile everyday!
Happy Half-Birthday Ren!
-Mama
