What I miss now that Chip is not a baby

August 14, 2006 3 Comments

(I wrote this in March 2005 when Chip was 3 months old.)

What I will miss when Chip is no longer a baby:

  • How tiny yet present he is.
  • How just showing up makes him stop crying and start cooing and laughing.
  • How simple his needs are.
  • His goofy toothless grins.
  • That he lets me cuddle and kiss him as long as I want to.
  • How excited he gets when I get him out of his crib in the morning.
  • How the top of his bald head smells.
  • How great it is to kiss the back of his neck.
  • That doesn’t yet know how to lift up his arms when I reach to pick him up.
  • That he always manages to stick his little cold hands on my bare skin.
  • That sometimes he gets so excited to nurse that he tries to eat his own hands.
  • That when he gets excited he flails his body around as hard as he can, and how everything gets him excited.
  • That he is my last baby.

And I was right. I miss all those things. Sigh…

    And he will soon say “WHY?” over and over and over again.

    The memories remain vivid, even when they are teenagers!!!!

    Babies ARE heaven-sent.
