Reflections.

It is crazy how fast life flies by.
Everyone told me to cherish every moment with my son because in no time he would be grown.
I have tried to do just that every day. 
I mean he is by no means grown, but almost nine months feels just like that to me! 
I swear I was pregnant FOREVER and I only made it to 37 weeks. 
Yet since he has arrived here time has flown by. 

I mean he is doing something new everyday!
 He is so spirited, fun and dramatic. 
He is constantly into something and knows exactly what he is doing.

He is now crawling, pulling up on any and everything and walking around holding on to things. 
Eating whatever we will allow him and continuously stealing my heart over and over again!

I remember bringing him home and always wanting to hold and cuddle him.
The countless Sleepless night that we still sometimes encounter. 
How amazing looking into his precious eyes can make me melt.


I can't believe he is only 3 months away from a year old!!! 
It makes me want to cry and smile at the same time.

I mean we have made it through all kind of learning curves.
Long days and even longer nights.
We have accomplished almost 9 months of breastfeeding.
 Not always easy but we made it and are still going forward!
Cutting teeth, Gas, Constipation, Being Sick Together, learning to eat solids and the list goes on. 

Yes I know and realize that these are all things that every parent goes through, but we made it. = )

Here is a look back at the last 8 1/2 months!

Get ready for picture overload...

I still can't believe how big my Little Man is. He makes me smile when I feel down, he reminds me of all the joys I have in my life and he has made me the woman I only dreamed I could one day be.

I am truly Blessed to be able to be his momma and can't wait to see all the fun things life has in store for us.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Until Next Time,
Ashley
