i love this series because it's just so sweet how enamored he is with her. he loves her little toes and fingers, he loves holding her, he LOVES to be a part of what we're doing. the way he interacts with her is absolutely adorable, it honestly just melts me. he would have sat in this chair forever if we let him, he just did not want to give her up, even when she was cranky.
max, 3 and a half. lucy, 14 days.
my boy. i'm so proud of him. he made me a mother, and there is just something so special about your first baby. i still can't believe he isn't THE baby anymore, but he will always be MY baby. =) Im just as in awe of him as I was when he was an infant; his sweet face, every little eyelash, dirty fingernails and feet, his perfect little lips. oh max, i love you. don't forget that, even though we are busy with baby sister. ok? the night before lucy was born, i came in while you were sleeping and snuggled up in bed with you and cried, and cried and cried. i was so excited to meet her, but i couldn't believe that days of just you and me were coming to an end. i dreamed my whole life of you, and you're our whole world. you're my little dude. i wanted to soak up every second of being just YOUR MOM. i can't exactly express what that time meant to me, but it was so special, almost sacred to me. as much as i'm absolutely loving this next phase of life, i will always savor our one on one time together and be so proud of my little man. i can't wait to continue to watch you grow into the big brother and amazing man you're already becoming.
I love the pictures, but especially what you wrote at the end there. It reminds me of the way I feel about our little 3 year old and the changes that will occur when this second little bean enters our family. It will be wonderful, but I am treasuring and relishing these last few months with just my little buddy and me. Thank for your wonderful posts!
ReplyDeleteagain, I can't get over how talented you are, your pictures are beautiful. And its so true about your first... I always tell Joe I wish I could just start again with Genevieve, it goes by too quickly.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the big brother? In my mind, I always think and hope they will be the best of friends!!How precious!
ReplyDeleteSo perfect. So very perfect. Congratulations from a long time blog reader and a first time commenter. Your words about Max as big brother were spot on. For me, watching my first (also 3.5) grow into his role as big brother has just made me love him even more. Sounds like you feel exactly the same. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest post and brought me to tears! I'm going through the exact emotions right now. Our little girl is due in 2 weeks and I am savoring all the time with Hayden, our little 3-year-old. Thank you for sharing and love, love, love Lucy's hairbows you made with the wool flowers? How do you make them? Are they hard?
