Wow. Time flies. Cliche, yes, but true. I can't believe August is already almost 5 months old. A year ago, we didn't even know about him and now he is our everyday. Everyone keeps telling us how fast it will go, and to enjoy it while he's still small--we know. I look back at pictures from when he was first born and really can't believe he was ever that small. I think of what it was like to hold him in my arms, barely feeling his weight, admiring his delicate face, and I lament the loss of those moments. I want to be able to retrieve them, to not just remember, but to really have them over again. BUT, I love watching August move; I love seeing him smile and finding that baby we first met in his face--I wonder if I will always be able to find that baby in his face.
He now smiles and even laughs on occasion. This is pretty incredible. He also is figuring out his hands and how they move. He loves to stand up, he loves airplane rides, he loves sleeping on his dad's chest. and he loves to talk while he's being changed. It is perfection to watch him grow and find out who he is, bit by tiny bit.
