I'm gonna miss this!

With only a week left until my baby turns 1, I'm feeling a little bit of "baby blues" coming on. How is it possibly that a year has passed since this little person entered our life? It doesn't seem real - I vividly recall holding my 5 lb. baby in the hospital and thinking, "He's so tiny, I might break him." Now he is almost walking and keeping us on our toes daily!
I look at him and see him growing up so fast; and though I know it's part of life it saddens me that it goes by so quickly. Tonight he actually snuggled in my arms for about 15 minutes, as I sang nursery rhymes to him and then he fell asleep. It was so peaceful. I held him as long as I could, kissing the top of his soft head, gently rubbing his legs, and looking at his little hands. I put off "chores" that should have been done, but definitely could wait! I'm sure going to miss these times as he grows up and becomes more independent and "too big" to fall asleep in my lap. I love you Kailer!
