Soaking it up

I started thinking lately and by reading other blogs of other mothers whose baby's are getting bigger and growing up. It makes me want to just soak up my little baby just as he is right now my sweet tiny little guy(ok not so tiny). He is asleep right now in his crib and I miss him when he sleeps, as frustrated as I get sometimes when he is fussy and wont sleep once he is asleep I want to hold him and make him laugh. For the most part he is a happy baby. I love the way he puts his little arms almost around my neck and shoves his face into my shoulder and sucks on my shirt. Or how he is so ticklish now and has the cutest little scream laugh. In the middle of the night after I feed him and burp him I hold him close and just sit there with him for a bit, I LOVE holding my sleeping baby. I love the way his little face lights up with a smile when I go to pick him up out of his crib in the early morning to come and cuddle with me.

I am so sad for him to get older and bigger I know it is a little ways away but I can see how quickly it goes bye, I look back on his newborn pictures and feel like that was so long ago and he is only almost 4 months. But I do look forward to seeing his little personality come out and the day he can say 'Momma' and tell me 'I love you'. But for now I can wait. For now I will just soak in my baby, the way he is right now.
