It's like trying to hold a wave upon the shore. The precious moments of babyhood are slipping delicately past me. I want to stop time and just gaze into these baby blues and see that glowing smile and bubbling laugh forever. But still she grows. Everyday and every minute she grows. Leaving infancy behind and it's bittersweet. Sweet that she's discovering new things like the joy of her toes and fingers. And her laugh keeps getting bigger and more infectious. But bitter in that every second is sneaking past all too quick and my last little baby is growing up before my eyes. It's bound to happen but it doesn't make it any easier. So I nibble her chunky cheeks and squeeze her chubby thighs and inhale every little drop of baby while I can. Because I know any day now I'll blink my eyes and she'll be my baby no more... I cherish this little wonder.
