Bathing Suits, Boat Rides and Lime Slushies....

My baby is walking....yes, 8 months and walking. He took his first few steps a couple of weeks ago, but is now getting around quite well, practically running and is SO proud of himself! As a mom, you want to think your baby is brilliant and is advanced beyond their age, yet at the same time, I'm thinking, "you were just lying in my arms, totally helpless and completely dependent upon me. Where did time go?" I guess as they grow, you just have to accept that they will not stay little forever, but you must always enjoy every second and soak in each breath they take. As my baby is now sleeping soundly beside me, I just stare at him and wonder how one can love something so much, so fast. It's completely indescribable, yet so fulfilling. I can't wait to see how me surprises me tomorrow.....
