Time {passes} us by

As a parent we always get so excited when our children learn or do something new such eating baby food for the first time and cherishing THAT expression, sitting up, babbling, rolling over, and the biggest excitement of all would most likely be potty training. Except when you know that it is the last child that you will get to share these moments with......then it becomes a happy-sad moment. Aynslee has now turned 6 months old and has accomplished so much! Eating baby food {there isn't anything this child won't eat}, rolling all over the floor, sitting up by herself, babbling like crazy, sleeping in her own bed, graduating to Howard the Duck bathtub because she can now sit up, wearing 12 month clothes already.....all the things that you actually look forward to seem to creep up on me a little too fast with her. Even though I look forward to the day I get to sleep through the night again, and not have to change a poopy diaper, I wish that just sometimes I could stop time to enjoy the tender moments just a little bit longer. Every time I rock her to sleep I just stare at her in amazement of how fast she is growing and developing and I can't help but smile and keep staring. Children do amazing and powerful things to my heart. I do have to say though, each day my patience grows more and more. I think it has to keep in sync with my little divas. I have been getting a huge kick out of the oldest two kiddos and their imagination when they play now. Funny enough, their newest and most entertaining is playing "David and Jaime". Yep, Jaycee plays David and Sicilee is Jaime with a new born baby. They rarely play Joldy and Meggan, but when they do I have to say that they are way too observant. They sound just like me {scary to hear yourself through your children}. Even to their gestures like putting their hands on their hips when they pretend get in trouble and have to go to the corner. Kids are little only once and I just wanted to take a little "Meggan Mommy Moment" and appreciate my children only being little once. And continue to just spoil them rotten because I can!!!!
