Our son, Isaac, is almost one year old. Seriously. It seems that when you have a newborn baby, you aren’t getting any sleep, and you don’t know what day of the week it is let alone the actual date, that people like to tell new parents things like:
“Treasure each day because time flies so fast and before you know it they’ll be graduating high school…”
As a new parent with a newborn, it was tough to resist the temptation to give them the bird (Just kidding people). The first month home with Isaac seemed like one giant, long, and sleepless day. Mary and I were exhausted, all of the time. Don’t get me wrong, we loved our little man, but we were tired.
Now in just 11 days our little Isaac will be turning one. One whole year has gone by since his mother laughed him out of the womb (Literally). He is a walking, talking (still quite unintelligible), laughing (He lives up to his name every day!) little man.
It seems as if all we did was blink. We went from no sleep and holding our newborn ever so gently (always making sure to support the neck) to chasing him around the house with him giggling or making the “Hulk Face”, in a matter of moments. Short moments.
It is true indeed that they grow up so darn fast. Good thing I have literally thousands of picture/videos of every moment from birth on…
FYI…this reflection has made me feel older…and not necessarily wiser. ;)
Blessings,
Cameron
