3 months old



Boys, please stop growing up for just a moment. Let me hold you and snuggle you and love you just as you are without feeling like every precious minute is one we'll never have again. Please be small and lovely and infinitely cuddly and cooing and enchanting.

I am so blessed but suddenly realizing how bittersweet parenting can be. I look at my sweet boys and how quickly they have grown and are growing and while I am fiercely proud of every smile and coo they produce, I feel a tightness in my chest and throat because they will never be this little again, and time is going so very fast. I just want to freeze these perfect moments.

So precious!! I can't believe how fast they change, sometimes even day-to-day. Sometimes I miss the tiny snugglies I used to have, even though I love the fact that they're so curious about the world now.

I got teary when I read your post b/c that is EXACTLY how I feel. I tried to start weaning one of their feeds the other day ... they nurse 3 X a day ... they are 11 months ... but I had such a hard time with it that I thought ... why am I doing this? So, back to 3times today! They grow up SO fast and I simply cannot believe my little babies are almost one! Your boys are too too cute!!! (also lurking from TS)
