Where does the time go??

 OK so 2009 has been off to a great start..fast but great. I just cant believe February is almost over with. My munchkin just turned 5 months yesterday. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant with him. Now he is around 18 lbs, has two bottom teeth, sleeps 10-12 hours at night..in his own room!! And started sitting up solo today!! I just cant believe all the things that are changing about him. Everyday he either looks different or sounds different...or his clothes dont fit!! Where does the time go?

My hubby & I have been talking a lot about the day we brought him home...How NOT nervous we were & how it just felt so natural to have him in our arms. 5 months have already passed & we are now on the verge of having a lil guy crawling through the house....where are the days of just holding him all day staring at him. Now its walks to the park, feeling the sand, sitting up like a big boy playing with his toys. When he was a newborn we felt like those days were just sooo far away & now here we are.

We decided for me to not work once Thomas was born so I could be home with him. It has certainly been a challenge with only one income but to be here with him all day & watch all these things take place just makes it all worth while. He is such an amazing little boy. Full of smiles & always laughing. He loves to be around people & just be out & about with Mom & Dad. We feel soooo blessed to have been given such a happy little boy.

I miss the days of him just sleeping on my chest but anxiously await each new chapter of him growing into a strong little boy. Everyday is different now & it is such a joy spending them with him. The more we talk about when he was itty bitty baby it makes us want another right away....but for now we will sit & enjoy each new adventure with our Little Mr. Thomas.

Aw, I know what you mean!!!! I miss Jake wanting to be held in the crook of my arm but I love to watch him sit and play with his toys. While I was pregnant, someone was always telling me to enjoy him every minute once he got here because the time flies by and boy were they right!

Feb. 25, 2009 at 4:18 PM I totally agree. I miss the days when he was teeny tiny and would just ball up on my chest and fall asleep, but I also just love watching the new things he learns every day! It's such an amazing experience to be a parent, huh? =)
