Yesterday I took Nate with me to visit some friends who had a new baby girl about two weeks ago. When I saw baby Abigail, my jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe that just four months ago my baby boy was that tiny.
Her head fit into the palm of my hand, the way Nate’s did. She slept in the crook of my arm while I held her and marveled at how fast babies really do grow.
It kind of feels like the winter has gone by in a sleepy fog. Where did the winter go? It was just a few weeks ago, wasn’t it, that Graham and I stood on our front porch on a cool November evening before heading to the hospital to become parents? The two of us stepped off that front porch and when we returned five days later, we were a family.
I held that new little baby in my arms and the four months between Nate’s birth and today seemed to have gone by in an instant. I feel like I didn’t really appreciate just how small he was, how he will never be that small and new again. How could I?
It's so true. I can't believe Aidan will be 4 months on Friday, it doesn't seem possible!
There's so much fun for us just around the corner!
It goes soooo fast. My baby is turning 8 next month…how??
