10 months

micah is 10 months old today and i feel like, even though i've been home with everyday, that i've missed on his getting bigger.

when did this happen? who told my little baby he could become a big boy?! he's crawling every where, is pulling up, cruising, and has 2(!!!!) teeth!

i'm not ready. i want him to stay my little baby. but i am also really excited to see the big guy he's going to be... sooner than i wold like

so big

took micah for his first haircut today. it breaks my heart that he's already big enough for that to be happening. something bittersweet about all these firsts because we don't plan on having anymore kids. now every first is also a last. it's the last first haircut. it's the last first solid food. it's the last first new tooth (which he still hasn't gotten) but it's exciting to see him grow up and become so big and crawl around chasing his brother but it also breaks my heart that soon i will no longer have a "baby" but a little boy. i'm not sure that i'm ready to let go of baby things... but "ready or not here we come"

naps

elijah has decided that he is no longer going to be a nap taker... i am not thrilled about this decision. i know that its a sign of him growing up and i should be really excited about it...but... since i'm getting ready to be a stay at home mom i was really looking forward to the build in quiet time of his nap... not the ridiculous melt down i know will come every day at 730.... booo growing up.
