Excuse Me.... Can you tell me where the time has gone?

It occurred to me to today as Greyson and I were sitting on the beach soaking up the rays, that he is closer to two than he is to one! How on earth did that happen? How is it, that my baby (BABY!!) is going to be 2 in 5 months and a few days – how How HOW??? These startling revelations made me stop and think of the last few months. We have gone so many places, seen so many things, and yet spent lots of time at home too. I think of watching Greyson experience new things for the first time and how most of those things I’ve seen time and time before but how seeing them through his eyes – they are more fabulous than ever. Today for example, we go to the beach often so it’s not a first time thing by any means, but today was so windy and the birds (the ones that look like pelicans, but really aren’t pelicans, but they dive like pelicans and have the funky beak like pelicans – but really the are not pelicans) would pause in mid air for what seemed like minutes as the turned to dive straight into the water, Greyson would clap and screech with joy each and every time, he was mesmerized and delighted. Just watching his eyes twinkle, his smile erupt and the pure joy that overtook his whole face made me laugh and cheer for the birds as well. In that one moment nothing else mattered, I didn’t think of bills or errands or phone calls I need to make, I didn’t think of laundry, dirty dishes, or papers I needed to type – I thought of the birds, and the joy they brought to my little man. He’s growing up so fast, and yet he’s still so painstakingly little. He amazes me more and more each day. I feel as if my heart is so full of love I couldn’t love him any more, yet in the morning when I hear his first calls from his crib and I go in and see his bright blue eyes, I know I’ll feel my heart stretch and fill with love. Life is good in Mommy-hood land……

Here is a snap shot of Greyson at the beach today, rocking his oh so cute wet suit. The combination of sunscreen in his hair and the wind gave him a very wind blown beachy do!!

Also, for your viewing pleasure is this super sweet picture that Greg snapped of me and my boy – oh…. I just love him so much!!!!!

And this one is just a cute picture of the little man chilling out on the couch..... "Are you taking my picture?"
