Baby Milestones

Amidst countless dirty diapers, laundry, and the constant pile of dishes, where has time gone? I cannot believe that my son is almost seven months old! Seven months… what happened during that blur of time? The first couple weeks were an exhaustive expanse of time that were spent feeding, diapering, and trying to ride the crash course on parenthood. The next couple of months were spent trying to catch up to my ever-changing and constantly growing child. His wiggling soon turned to turning over, then kicking, jumping, and now… crawling! I watched in amazement as my son reached each milestone, and through the joy and triumph; there were also some tears with the realization that he was quickly growing up.

I may get frustrated that my son can’t play catch with me yet or walk around but I quickly remind myself that before I know it, he’ll be all grown up and won’t want me to hug or kiss him. For now, I’ll take the spit up, the unending diaper changes, and sneak in as many cuddles and kisses as possible. They are only babies for a short time and I’ll take in as much as I can; while he still lets me.
