A moment in time...

This morning I had one of those moments that made me realize just how fast time is slipping by....

Joey woke up around 6am. I quickly rushed into get him as I didn't want him waking Drew up....I NEED Drew to sleep! ;) As I reached for him he immediately tried to nurse. I haven't nursed him in over a month....I was finally able to wean him when Jess kept him for a few days when the house flooded. I thought by now he would stop trying...but when he's half awake I think he just does it out of habit. For the past year he would wake up and nurse right away. He started to get a little fussy with me not letting him so I laid down in bed with him to just hold him. He cuddled up right with me like a newborn baby. He would open his beautiful blue eyes every few minutes to make sure I was still there, then he would snuggle in a little more. For over an hour we laid like that! He wasn't asleep at all yet was so calm and willing to be held. At this stage he's moving everywhere...so to get a whole hour to cuddle my baby was pure bless! I think he would've loved another hour like that...but alas I had to get up and get ready for the day.

As my baby days are coming to an end I'm trying to savor up every single moment like this one! When I began nursing him I had NO intention of going to 13 months! That seemed like such a ridiculously long time to me! And there were days that I thought I wouldn't make it til the next day...let alone over a year! For the month before I weaned him, he was biting me constantly ( OH.MY.HELL!) and I was just done! But this morning was the first time that I sat there and realized how quickly that special time with him flew by. In a few weeks he probably won't even remember nursing anymore. But I will always remember that closeness with him. :)


And being that I'm THE shittiest blogger ever....I haven't even updated since the flood! The house is back in order after a full month of all of us living in 1 room! That was sooo much fun < insert major sarcasm here! > And now that the house is done we're going to leave in a few days to go spend a week together in 1 hotel room! haha Daytona Beach and Disney World on the itenerary....like we go anywhere else anymore! ;)
