Time Is Slipping Away.
I want to run through the meadow of my memories and capture all the pictures...
those Flitting Fireflies of Thought and Color.
I want to bottle them up and put them on my counter so I can Look at Them.
I want to remember The Past, because He Is In It.
Every day he gets bigger and becomes Something Else Altogether,
and it Explodes My Heart.
Each day his laugh gets HEART-i-er.
Each day his eyes get CLEAR-er.
Each day his kicks get STRONG-er.
He's so young, but already I feel like his newness;
his itty-bittiness
are behind us.
I am going to be a Sad Mom.
because already,
I miss Every Dax That Ever Was.
I need videos and photos and letters so i can sit,
old and tired,
on the floor and Look At Him
againandagainandagainandagain.
I know you're right there, Right Now,
but STILL
(sit still please be still please always be still)
How am I going to do this?
How am I going to let go you go every day?
I look forward to all the Future Yous
but Dear God Please
Leave me my memories.
Let them lay vivid and perfect and
priceless in my mind.
It's going so fast. It goes SO Fast.
I want to
Hold On....
I love you i love you i love you i love you

Aww. What a wonderful message to your little one. You really can't capture enough of them. Videos, photos...they just grow up so fast. But every day is a new adventure and brings something amazing. We must cherish every moment :)
Oh this is so true and so powerful.
I found myself saying something about Charlie the other day - I said "When he was a baby..." and he's five months old! You put it so well - the newness is gone. He's so not tiny any more.
What a great tribute to your child... this is sweet....
i love this. perfect ending :)
awww, such love!!! I bet time goes by far too fast, take pictures, keep journals, hold on to keepsakes- I think you'll always remember these amazing memories.
This is so beautiful:) I hope you continue to cherish every moment with your sweet guy!
I love this. Time is fleeting. It is so hard being a parent.
Your li'l guy has the best smile...makes me want to smile too~!!
