Time is...


Isn't it funny how time can go by so quickly, yet seem so slow? When little Nicolas didn't want to give us the joy of his arrival in the timely manner I wanted him too, time went so slow. I think the month of September lasted the entire year, HA....but truly even though he is five and half months old, it seems time has flown but has stopped too. Which doesn't make much sense as Bryan would say, but to me it does. Let me give you an example, when his teeth were coming in...two of course at once....it seems liked forever until the points popped out, but now it seems like overnight they have shot out and he is turning into a little man. These moments make me sad to know that he'll never be the cuddly little newborn who depends on me for everything, but now is trying to be Mr. Independent by pushing the buttons on the toys by himself and figuring out how it makes noise in the first place. All of these things two months ago, I would of never thought it would happen this fast. Before we know it he'll be crawling and then walking....oh my gosh his life just shot before my eyes....AWWWWW.....

OK, time to slow down for a minute, but really time seems to be going faster as he does more and more, and I am trying to cherish every moment as it was my last. Anyone that's ever seen his smile knows what I mean when I say how could you do anything but love this child. So as he grows and learns new things everyday, it amazes me how smart he really is and that one day I know when he brings his 4th grade homework home...he'll actually know I am smarter than my parents.

So as the days fly by and Mommy and Daddy get busier with the hustle and bustle of the summer, I know that I have to step back and cherish these moments because one day before I know it, he'll be off doing what all kids do and move on to actually being... Mr. Independent that began when he was five months old.....
