Even before Elijah was born, I was constantly getting comments from people about how fast babies grow. I was told over and over again that it happens too fast and before you know it, they will be months old and then leaving the house. I knew it was true, but why do people have to say that? Why can’t they just let you enjoy the moments? Let’s not dwell on the things to come. Let’s live in the moment and enjoy it while it is here. I will have time later on to enjoy those moments as he grows. They is much to look forward to. For now, I want to enjoy my little munchkin just the way he is.
Elijah is growing really fast of course! He is over 3 months old now. Our neighbor just had a little boy and he is so tiny. It is hard to believe that a few months ago I had a little baby boy in the NICU. It is almost a distant memory. I will never forget those times. I am so thankful that God was beside us the whole time during all of that. I don’t know how people get through it without Him. Even though it was a difficult time, we had this peace that is unexplainable except that it was from God. I want my tiny little man back sometimes, but am happy with who he is becoming. It’s good that he is growing! I just don’t want it to happen so quickly.
I can’t handle his cuteness. It seriously gets me everyday. From his “I know I’m cute” smile to the little chub he is starting to get. I can’t help but wonder how Brent and I got such a cute little man. We have been loving this life as a family of three and the pup. I am currently working part time and I watch a little lady that is only 5 days younger than Elijah on the days I am home. Although I am not leaving him with a stranger, it doesn’t make it easy. I have my moments each week where I breakdown because I don’t want to leave him or I feel like I don’t have enough time with him. It’s hard, I am working through it. In the end though, his smile and snuggles make everything better.
Just a few thoughts that I’ve been having lately. Enjoy some pictures starting from when we first made it home through now.
