my baby...

In the past couple weeks I've caught myself up late at night sifting through the thousands of photos we have on our hard drive from Jaxon's earlier days... and I'll admit it, I've teared up a few times,

almost to the point of knowing if I let one teardrop out I might just start hysterically crying.

My baby, well, is not so much my baby anymore...

but I like to think, like one of our favorite books says

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be".

I think it has a little to do with having 31 days this month to think,

Jaxon's going to be TWO this month...

and before I know it, his birthday will come and go and it will all be reality!

It might also have to do with the fact that I missed the memo to have a baby in 2011...

I'm pretty sure this was a baby boom year, at least with everyone I know!!

So, I just had to do a little reminiscing to cure my baby hunger...

although, I'm not so sure it helped!

he was so so so tiny, for so so long!!

Congrats to all of my friends who've had babies this year,

expecting babies, and working on it ;)

I am sure most of you agree,

there is no greater joy in the world than being a mom!!
