At the risk of sounding like a broken record I have to say: I can’t believe how big Braylen is getting. Seriously. It all started when I received the photo book in the mail and I saw how tiny she used to be.
What a difference four short months make! Not only is she getting bigger, she is learning something new everyday. For example, yesterday I put her in her crib to take a nap and when I went back to get her she was completely turned around and holding on to the bumper. Excuse me, but when did she learn that?
So today, I’m holding her while she naps. Even if there is laundry to be done, and a dishwasher to be unloaded. Because today I know that this time is fleeting. And there is nothing I can do except embrace it and hold onto it while its here. I never really got it when my parents said things like “it seems like yesterday you were baby.” I get it now. And its okay, I’ll take this time and I’ll cherish it, I’ll hold onto it, I’ll soak in every single moment with her. In the end that’s what life is about, right? Growing up and learning new things all to become the person we were meant to be. And in the end, I think its a combination of the memories and the prospect of what is to come that makes life wonderful.
I’ll end on a much, much lighter note. I made these cupcakes for todays birthday celebration at M&F bank.
And no, this isn’t completely unrelated because cupcakes make life a little sweeter too!

She is adorable and they do learn something new all the time. You will look away one min and turn back around to see something completely brand new they learned. It’s always so exciting!!!!
