Things I want to remember...

  • his contagious laugh
  • the way he plays with my fingers when I carry him around
  • him feeding me Cheerios in the grocery store
  • his soft skin
  • his crazy, but super soft hair
  • the tug he gives at my pants, telling me he wants to be picked up
  • his huge grin and beautiful dimples
  • his adorable belly button
  • those HUGE blue eyes
  • his long eyelashes to match
  • the three stray long white hairs on the back of his head... they fell out, but they made him unique
  • how excited he is when I walk into his room for the first time in the mornings
  • the first time he watched the dog run circles around him
  • the first time I saw his face
  • watching him be cleaned up across the delivery room
  • waking up in the middle of the night, just to look at him
  • how tiny his feet were
  • how tiny he was
  • the first cries
This may be weird to some, but these are just things I always want to remember. As life moves on, our family grows and grows up... I never want to forget these magical things.

Those are all so sweet - isn't mommyhood absolutely wonderful? :)

That was awesome...I had some of the moments this evening. I was going through some old pictures & came across some of Brayden probably around age 2. He's growing up so fast...his two front bottom teeth are loose!!! Cherish the moments! Love you.
