Please let me remember...
Your soft, pudgy arm as it brushes against my face while you sleep.
That little-curly-fuzzy hair on the back of your neck, and how it is the softest possible thing in the world to ever kiss.
How last night when you were falling asleep, you started to sneeze and made the funniest noise instead. When I laughed, you tried to make it again & again to make me laugh, making yourself laugh so sweetly, too.
You look up with those big blue eyes in admiration of your older brothers. They make you laugh more than anyone else. You already try to wrestle with them- all 17 pounds of booty-scoot-crawling baby, you.
… I find myself willing my mind to tape-record every moment; I don’t want to forget. I feel confident that, although I may not recall every specific detail, my heart is being shaped by these moments, and the memories are there forever on my soul.
That is just the sweetest thing. He will cherish that someday. What a lovely sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. Having a child is the most wonderful thing anyone can experience. Every moment is special and precious.
ReplyDeleteAww...that was so nice. He looks so mischevious in that pic! I couldn't stop looking at it! He's so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! That was such a sweet post too. I'm always 'willing my mind to tape-record every moment' too. I don't want to forget a moment of it!
ReplyDeleteCorinne crawls on her butt too! It cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteYou're such a great mama!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm bawling now.. happy?! So beautiful. It's amazing how fast these moments are passing and while I long for yesterday's moments sometimes, today's are always my favorite. Don't forget a thing.
ReplyDeleteI am thisclose to crying at work. But I managed to keep it in... because I'm at work! If I were at home I would be crying. This was very sweet. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those "about-to-sneezes"! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful :) I love the pic :)
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast don't they?
That was beautiful. And you will remember a lot more since you are recording in down. You will always be able to go back.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, do remember, forever, I hope I never forget those moments either. What a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. I hope I never forget either. Seriously, there needs to be a slow motion button!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a way to remember every little thing. I think you're right though, those details will always stay with us.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, I sure hope I CAN remember those "little" things after this last one comes! At the time, it seems impossible to forget, but then those chunky hands start holding frogs, and we don't really like rubbing them against our faces anymore!
ReplyDeleteAnd that downy fuzz turns into spikey flat tops....
Sigh.....just wish those moments could be held on to forever (or at least stored in a hope chest for when they're all out of the house!)
What a BEAUTIFUL post!! He's so cute:)
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures you painted. Oh so sweet! Love that cute face of his!
ReplyDeleteLiam has the fuzz in the back too!
What a sweet boy. And so cute ,too.
