You are 6 months old?!

People always say it will go by so fast. While yes there are some days I feel this way most days no. I think time is just so sweet and precious and I know that one day I will wake up wishing I could go back.

When you were 2 months old my dad introduced you at his church. My mom wanted to take you to the oldest women's Bible Study class. It was the sweetest thing I have ever witnessed and will never forget. The joy and light that you brought to these ladies eyes was amazing. They just wanted to touch your foot and just stare at you. So tender so much love and they didn't even know you.

I have to think that they were once mothers and you somehow brought back those emotions to them. It made me appreciate you so much more and remember this is such a precious fleeting time.

So I decided to cherish everyday (some days it's simply impossible ;)) You didn't sleep through the night (well you actually still wake up once) until here recently. I started from when you were little singing Amazing Grace to help you go to sleep. I realized what a precious time it is to be the only one that can really soothe and comfort you. I hold you a little longer and tighter when you are in my arms during those late night feedings.

I love to just stare at you, watching you learn and play. I love your little fat rolls and sweet soft skin. I love to rub lotion on you and see you move your little pop belly around before putting you in your jammies. I love when I am breastfeeding and you look right into my eyes and smile with so much love.

I so cherish you Hayden and am so blessed to have loved on you for 6 months. I love being your mom and just want to remind myself to cherish these precious moments. So when I am in the "oldest" women's Bible Study class I can have the same light in my eyes for a baby remembering you and our sweet times.

I love you my precious angel!
