Today we had a busy day. We had pictures done for Talent's one year birthday. We had to get dressed and ready, get him dressed, fed, napped, and ready. He is teething and not the happiest of babies at the moment. He's been very clingy and always wants me and wants to be held. People make comments about him being "such a momma's boy" all the time. I hear other moms comment all the time about how glad they were or how happy they will be when their child doesn't "need" them so much anymore. All the while I'm thinking they are crazy. I love that he needs me. Do I get tired, heck yes! But I know that these moments of time are small. He is already almost a year old and it still seems like just yesterday I brought this teeny tiny little boy home. I know the days of me getting to rock him to sleep at night are numbered. Why not enjoy those snuggles while I can?
I am blogging about this because I listen to the radio all the time when we are cooking or eating lunch or dinner. Tonight the Trace Adkins song, "You're Gonna Miss This" came on and it always bring tears to my eyes. I know I'm going to be the parent like Talent man at the end of the song. The one whose babies are "26 & 33". I will always see Talent as the little baby I brought home almost a year ago. The little boy that enjoyed twirling and kicking in my belly and ALWAYS had the hiccups! To me that is what he will always be. Even now as he stands on his own and points to what he wants and says "Momma".....he's that tiny baby in my eyes.
So I guess what I'm saying is, don't take life so fast. Enjoy your babies. They don't stay little for very long.
