Sweet Moment
Monday, July 6, 2009
It's so easy to focus on how difficult and trying things are at this point in the baby game. Nights are still a little sleepless for my taste, Jonah has really upped the ante on the crying with fits 3 nights in a row this week, and we are now alone with no grandparents to pass him to. That being said, Andrew's pictures of our little man always highlight the more serene times. I like to look at them because it reminds me that in each day filled with its share of frustrations, there are always little pockets of sweetness. As Jonah gets older and can interact with us more I know that the fun and not so fun will strike a better balance, but until then I will have to stare at these pictures and remember the little gems that are popping up even now. I love this picture because while I get nothing done holding him for hours on end, I am reminded that he is only going to be this tiny for so long. I want to soak up the times that he still fits on my chest, curled up like the little pill bug that he is.

You are wise to recognize that these precious moments of him being so tiny will pass and that you should cherish every one of them. There will, of course, be precious moments all along the way no matter how old he becomes. Even now, I cherish the picture of my baby holding her baby.
You're a wonderful mother.
Love, Mama
Sweet indeed. And ok- Gramma's comment makes me cry. Love you guys!
Ditto on the crying thing. Grammas just know how to put everything into perspective. Keep savoring every moment!
Don't ever say you get nothing done when you are holding that precious baby. You are giving him such a fabulous start on life and that security will stay with him forever. I sure do miss holding him and cannot wait til you guys get here. You and Andrew have given us a most fabulous gift by allowing us to share in your life. We are so thankful.
