Boden is nearly 4 months old and I am sad to see the newness fall away from him. Thank goodness his head still has that new car baby scent and that his lips, pink and fresh, still glisten with the tiny bubbles of breast milk. I would weep if he was too old to curl his little body into mine, kneading my stomach and thighs with his toes as he searches for that perfectly comfortable spot to drop off to sleep.

Levi and the girls remind me every day how fun it is to have them grow

but there are these moments, these tiny peaceful perfect moments that are just not ever possible to reproduce after they start walking and talking and some that just don’t happen past those first quiet weeks when you are still learning about one another, still searching for your stride as a mother and they are just learning to cope with the world.

Can you believe that was just a month and a half ago? *sobs* my baby is gettin’ so big!
