If I Could Keep You Little

Its one in the morning and Lily is sound asleep in her crib next to me, all cozied

up with her blanket off in dreamland. She is so little yet seems so big.

I'm loving this stage Lily is in. She is still so cuddly and smiley and just

a joy to be around. She just started laughing and is always happy.

Just this past week I noticed how big she is actually getting. In a way it makes me sad

because I know how fast time goes by and I just want to hold onto these special baby moments.

I just have to remind myself that I will love every stage Lily is in and that she

will always be my baby.

I just ordered this book that I think describes how most mothers feel. Here is the ending line of the children's book If I Could Keep You Little

into who your meant to be
