OMG!

Since I found out I was pregnant many moons ago, I have been subscribed to TONS of "mommy" emails. I get things from BabyCenter.com and all kinds of other baby sites. They send out coupons and "mommy tips" and I love getting them. Today I got the one I get weekly and it was telling me about all the things my baby should be doing. Well, I was struck by this one a little differently than I normally am. I know my baby is growing and changing and getting SO big. I realize that. I am with him every single moment of every single day. But what I guess I have been pushing to the back of my mind is that we are only ONE MONTH away from his one year birthday. He will turn 11 months next week. I just CANNOT believe we are already a month away from him turning ONE!! It really seems like yesterday we brought him home. It seems like yesterday I was going into labor. I can remember vividly how it felt when he was still inside my body. I just can't believe how fast this first year has flown. It seriously blows my mind. So since I was thinking about this today and wishing time would stop and slow down, I thought I would do a "10 months in pictures" post so I could look back at some of his old baby pics and remember the last year and all the happiness it has brought into our home. So I hope you enjoy the pictures. I know some of them will be repeats....enjoy them anyway!

 

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this kid! Looking back at the pictures we've taken over the last 11 months, I am amazed that I can love someone as much as I love him. He makes me smile and makes my life so much more than I ever imagined it could be. I loved being a wife, I did, and I still do. But being a mom, it is such an amazing thing. It's exhausting at times but it is just the most amazing feeling in the world. I love it. I don't understand those moms that don't want to soak up every second of their kids. The ones that "don't carpe diem".....I mean, even when Talent is fussy and at his worst, I love him still. I love him and love being with him even when I'm most aggravated. I just love being a mom. I know there are times when he's on my nerves and driving me crazy, but I still want to soak him in, I want to take every second I have with him and cherish it because he isn't going to be little long. Looking back at these pictures just reminds me once more how fast time flies.....
