I have spent a lovely few hours holding a beautiful little one month old baby boy. I would have had a picture to go with this blog if I could have put this precious bundle down for a minute but as I held him the whole afternoon - I have no photo. But as I spent quite a bit of time just gazing at his little face I can say he has such gorgeous eyes - you know the color that is so deep they seemed to go on forever.
His mother is so calm and so relaxed, something I am sure I was not with baby number 1, that I know she will handle new motherhood with a aplomb (yes I know a stupid word but it was the first thing that came to mind, and nothing else seems to fit).
Looking at this little boy I cant help but reflect on when my now big 21 year old was just a little boy. It does seem like only such a short time ago that life revolved around nappies, feeding, and sleeping. Mind you Zander would probably say his life still revolves around sleeping, eating and maybe swim training.
Another friend's son turned 16 a few days ago but in my mind he is still in Elementary school I am not sure when he grew up but I guess he has. Another reminder of how quickly time passes.
No matter how quickly time does pass, memories can stop time just for a little bit.
So thank you Denise for the opportunity to stop and remember.
