Angus and I would nap together every afternoon. Some days, for as long as 3 hours! I'll treasure those days forever. Physically gruelling, yet emotionally comforting. Safe. Happy. My boys and I resting together, before I even knew I was a Mama of 2 boys. I've always been in awe of time. What it cultivates, discards, nurtures and heals. Since becoming a Mama, my concept of time has changed significantly. I am learning to manage it more effectively. Waste it, alot less. Live it, to create valuable memories for the future. And most importantly, appreciate and enjoy it, because it runs away much too fast.
Having Felix has opened my eyes to this even further than Angus' first year did. I do. not. know. where the past 11 months have gone. In a haze of hard work, adjustment and sleep deprivation, I'm guessing. But I feel so lucky to be learning incredible lessons on life, from these little beings Scott and I created. These often challenging times, will be distant memories before I know it.
What a gorgeous little man! time just goes by far too quickly i think! Are you planing a big first birthday? xx
ReplyDeleteI know, time goes so fast! Enjoy this baby stage with your gorgeous boy xx
ReplyDeleteSo true..those times do go incredibly fast even though sometimes they don't seem to at the time when you're bogged down in the midst of changing nappies, piles of washing or hoping to get dinner made between baby feeds! Now my kids have grown there's lots of time to catch up on reading or movies..but I do miss them being little even though I do love their grownupness as well.
ReplyDeleteDistant memories indeed. It astounds me constantly how fast they are growing up. Even though it's sad letting go of those little ones, I'm looking forward to getting to know my girls as big and then bigger kids. gxo
ReplyDeleteI have a little ache in my heart at how much I miss the days of them being babies. I adore every stage and have tried to be conscious about soaking up each one. It goes so darn fast. I am glad you treasured these times.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I would love to see the opera house light show, looks spectacular. (Don't be fooled about my weekend my house also looks like a chinese laundry, I only post the good bits! :-))
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I too was pregnant this time last year - in fact, I was one day overdue. The past 12 months has flown, and my baby turns one next Tuesday. Where has the year gone? All of my boys are bigger, older, louder ...
ReplyDeleteYour little man looks so happy. Enjoy his baby days while they last! x
Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteTime really does go way too fast :-(
I remember hearing that all the time before kids bit since being a Mum it really does hit home doesn't it.
You've just taken me back to a memory for me of afternoon naps with Cooper when I was heavily pregnant with Blake. We'd nap for hours some days. Gone are those days lol.
what a cutie .... and afternoon naps - if only!!!
