Embrace It

I can't believe that my baby is already 5 months! We did a little photo shoot in accordance with the special day! I was reading my friends blog today and she titled her post Happy/Sad. She said, and I whole heartedly agree, how happy she was that her children were learning, growing, and developing, but at the same time sad to see baby feet become big feet and have their sweet little milk breath become morning breath. I was thinking the other day when I took Kailer to the park how I wished I could shelter him from everything negative in his little world. They grow so quickly and I find myself every night with sun-downers, for anyone not in the medical field that is when old people go crazy when the sun goes down. Ok, so I'm not old, or crazy, at least I don't think I am, but everytime the sun goes down I get a bit melancholy and happy/sad over the ever changing beauty of my kids. To quote my friends mom regarding their ever changing lives she said, "embrace it for the moment, then let it go and find joy in the next phase." It sounds easy, but is so hard to do. That is my new goal for tomorrow, thanks guys!
