MOMENTS LIKE THESE:

dO YOU REMEMBER...

THE FIRST TIME YOU LOOKED, LIKE REALLY LOOKED, AT THEIR TINY FINGERS? MAYBE THIS WAS THE MOMENT WHEN HAVING A BABY FINALLY FELT REAL.

OR REMEMBER WHEN...

THEY FIRST STARTED STANDING, WITH WOBBLY LITTLE LEGS? WASN'T IT SO CUTE HOW THEIR TINY FINGERS HELD TIGHTLY ONTO YOURS AS THEY NAVIGATED THIS NEW ABILITY FOR THE FIRST TIME.

here the days might feel long,but...

tRUST ME, The years are oh-so-short.

AND MAYBE NOW...

THEY'RE AT THE AGE WHERE THEY SPRINT TO THE DOOR WHEN YOU GET HOME. THEY'RE THERE WITH A TOOTHY SMILE AND A TENDER HUG READY TO WELCOME YOU EVERY AFTERNOON.

YOU PLAYFULLY GROAN AS THEY SQUEEZE YOU WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT. AND THAT FEELING MAKES YOU WANT TO JUST BOTTLE IT UP AND KEEP IT WITH YOU FOREVER (AT LEAST I KNOW THAT'S HOW I FEEL).

OR MAYBE INSTEAD...

YOU'RE HOME WITH THEM ALL THE TIME AND EVERYDAY THEY LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOU'RE THEIR SUPERHERO --

--THIS IS THE AGE WHERE THEY WANT TO SHARE EVERY INTEREST WITH YOU, HAVING NO REGARD TO WHETHER YOU'VE HEARD IT A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE. iT'S THE AGE WHERE THEY HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE YOU COULD FIX ANYTHING IN THE WORLD FOR THEM AND THAT CONFIDENCE MAKES YOU WANT TO DO JUST THAT.

THEN SNAP! BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOU'RE CROSSING FROM TWEEN TO TEEN.

HOPEFULLY THEY'RE...

NOT TOO COOL TO SNUGGLE UP WITH MAMA JUST YET & THEY STILL GIVE YOU HUGS -- JUST NOT IN FRONT OF THEIR FRIENDS. THERE'S A BIG SHIFT WHERE THEY NEED YOU LESS FOR THE EVERYDAY THINGS AND MORE FOR THE THINGS THEY'RE TOO EMBARASSED TO ASK ANYONE ELSE ABOUT.

THEY WANT MORE INDEPENDENCE EVERYDAY AND YOU'RE NOT SURE IF YOUR HEART IS BURSTING WITH ACHE OR WITH PRIDE SO YOU REMIND YOURSELF -- YOU'RE WATCHING THEM START TO BECOME WHO THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU HOLD EACH HUG A LITTLE TIGHTER AND PRESERVE ALL THAT YOU CAN.

THEN THEY'RE TEENAGERS...

YOU MISS ALL THE VERSIONS OF THEM THAT CAME BEFORE, BUT SOMETIMES --IN PLAYFUL MOMENTS, OR LATE AT NIGHT WHEN THEY SIT ON THE EDGE OF YOUR BED AND TELL YOU ABOUT THEIR WORLD. YOU CATCH GLIMPSES OF THE LITTLE KID THEY ONCE WERE WOVEN INTO THE ADULT THEY'RE BECOMING -- AND IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. YOU'RE SLOWLY LEARNING WHERE TO LET GO... AND WHERE TO HOLD ON FOR JUST A LITTLE LONGER.

SOMEHOW YOU CIRCLE BACK TO THE FIRST TIME YOU LOOKED, LIKE REALLY LOOKED, AT THEIR LITTLE HAND IN YOURS. ONLY NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT HOLDING ON FOREVER. IT WAS ABOUT KNOWING EVERY VERSION OF THEM ALONG THE WAY.

capturing the little moments, before this season too, passes on


As a mother I know how bittersweet each milestone is. You celebrate their firsts & know it'll never be a first again. Sometimes I look back at photos and think about on how precious it was to be in that moment. I smile (and cry a little) about how pure the emotions of a child are. How simply joyful their natures are. All I can think is how lucky I am to have them & how lucky I am to have those images to look back on as they grow year after year.
