Trying to remember

My sweet William. I am in daily danger of being completely consumed by this loveliest of little men. I hold him at night and stare and stare and stare, trying to burn his chubby, sweet six-month-old form into my mind. I have his big brother before him to know that each passing month almost entirely obliterates the memory of the month before. And while I revel in the Now of both boys and delight as we measure each milestone, I can't help but wish I could stop time and keep him here, as a baby, as gummy and smily and silky and milky and small...

Wow! What a striking picture. He is so handsome.

We've been feeling the same way. Maybe it's something about 6 months, half a year over already.

You have two of the most beautiful little boys!!

I hear you on the trying to remember...it gets harder as they get older.
But, with each passing year comes new adventures, who knew having a 10 year old could be so much fun! :)

He is Gorgeous!! I really hope to see all of you when we return to PA in June. Despite the sleepless nights I wish I could stop time for a bit too. When I go from holding Brenden to Sierra it shocks me to realize how quickly she turned into a little girl. I'm not ready for any more growing!
