...And then it was 2010!

It seems like the holiday season literally flew by with the remainder of 2009. After I graduated high school I thought time was starting to go by very fast. I had no idea what I was talking about until I had Ethan. I literally can blink and feel like it was yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital! I mean look how much he's changed!

Ethan - One Week Old!

Ethan 8 Months Old!                                                                                        

We're on the home stretch sliding into the first birthday here in five months. I'm absolutely loving the stage Ethan is at right now. I try my hardest to freeze frame every memory and hold onto it because I know he'll change so much more in a few months. I've decided that the absolute hardest thing about being a mom is letting go of the baby stages that seemed like perfection and embracing the new stages that come along that are a little bit scary and unfamiliar. This is parenthood with your first child, and maybe with the second/third child you come a little bit more prepared!!
