I quite often get a shock with you, my wee potato. I look at you expecting to see a teeny tiny baby; a little wrinkly, squishy bundle of baby-chub. But there you are; a huge, smiley, chatty, determined to be on the move, baby-going-on-teenager. Your babyhood really is flashing before my eyes. I try to stop & take as many moments as possible to just breath you in, to soak it all up. But it's never enough - in the blink of an eye, you've changed again.
I know its normal second-baby syndrome but I do feel a little gutted that there's so much of your life I've already not had time to fully embrace or appreciate. You're becoming mobile, your first tooth is breaking through and you're ever more aware & understanding of the world around you. Each day, that bit more independent. Each day, a little less reliant on your Mummy.
Maybe I'm being nostalgic because of the ever-looming return to work is approaching. You'll soon be joining your brother at nursery and before I know it you'll be walking & talking like him too. Of course, you'll always be my baby but how about we slow things down a little from now on? Or at least give your Mummy a little time to catch up!
Love you always, Potato,

Oh look at those eyes! He's gorgeous. They grow up so fast though don't they? Toby is one on Friday and I have no idea where the year has gone!
ReplyDeleteIt's scary, eh? I keep thinking that it's really not long until David's 1st birthday too. xo
DeleteOh I love this post. He is totally gorgeous and I too look at my Little Man and wonder where his baby days are going - have gone! He is very nearly a toddler and it feels like I barely had time to see him grow let alone stop and appreciate it x
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself, Donna. xo
DeleteThis photo is absolutely stunning. I just love black and white portraits. Xx
ReplyDeleteMe too, Katie. A new favourite of mine! xo
Deletewhat a sweetheart. and a great picture, really capturing his expression. i'm watching my baby boy grow up so quickly as well. i can hardly believe how fast it's going, but at the same time i'm enjoying it all that much more because i know really how quick it does pass. #livingarrows
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erica. Time just seems to speed up the moment you become a parent, eh? xo
DeleteSuch a wonderful and beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy just how quickly they grow-up isn't it? My son is nearly 3 and I still think of him as my little baby boy *sigh* x
I still think the same with John too! xo
DeleteA-dorable, I miss mine being that little .. need to have another me thinks x
