What I'll Miss

Often times I'll just look at my son and realize that he won't ever be like this again. Exactly how he is in this second will never happen again. Each day he is changing and growing and it's a sad thing for a mother to realize. I know that soon he will be too big to take a nap on my chest, or sit in his swing. Soon his tooth will be grown and he will say his first word. Soon he will finally roll from back to front and front to back. Someday in the near future he will crawl for the first time or eat off a spoon. Soon he will take his first step and fall for the first time. I know that soon he won't be making the cute faces he makes or the cute sounds. He won't want to suck on his, and everyone else's, hands. His favorite food will no longer be formula. His little feet won't be so little anymore. Every time he sees me he won't light up with glee. His favorite toy will no longer be the Oball. It makes me sad to think about my son changing, and growing. Even while I'm writing this and he is laying next to me asleep I know I will never get this moment back. It's a funny thing about time, it will always continue to move forward and you can never get it back.

Changes

So many new things are developing with James. He can hold his head up for so long now, and even loves tummy time. He's starting to really focus in on objects and even looks people in the eye now. We finally found a pacifier he likes. He's starting to make sounds other than crying sounds, he's really found his voice this week. He still loves staring at the fan more than anything. I had him sitting in his bumbo seat for the first time, and he LOVED it. He really likes the world from a sitting up perspective, he was so adorable looking all around the room and making different sounds. He's really falling in love with music, if he starts crying I can play a music video on my phone and it will calm him down pretty quickly. He's getting so good at using his hands, he can even grab on to things now-especially hair. He is starting to make this adorable sound when he's sucking on his pacifier. He is in love with the rocking chair and that will always put him right to sleep. He hates getting his diaper changed and getting his nose cleared. He made his first real smile today, so exciting!
