My baby boy is growing up so fast. Yesterday he started saying "Ba-ba" (bye-bye) and waving. SO cute.
Today he took his first 5 steps towards me! I can't believe that in a few short weeks he is going to be walking around everywhere. What a bittersweet time...it is so exciting to see him grow and develop his beautiful, shining personality; but in the other hand it is SO sad for me to see my sweet little chub turn into a little boy before my eyes. He is my last baby and it is going tooo fast.
In 10 days it will be Indigo's first birthday. Wow...what a year it has been. It is almost surreal to think that a year ago today I was ripe with an almost 10lb baby boy, who was soon to make his debut. It doesn't seem possible, even! And now, here before my eyes, I have this spunky, gorgeous, chubby happy 30lb almost-one-year-old who is starting to talk and walk. Life is beautiful and mysterious and wonderous.
I finally wrote Indigo's birth story last week...it took me almost a full year to do it. That's a record for me, I had both Nova and Faeryn's done within a month or two of their births. I avoided Indigo's for a long while, I'm not entirely sure why. Part of it was procrastination, and part was maybe not wanting to accept that in writing his birth story, it would close a chapter of my life forever. No more pregnancies, labours, births or stories to write. None of my own, at least. And that, is definetely the bittersweet symphony for me. Looking forward, looking back...the days are long but the years sure fly by.

Aww, I got tears reading all.
I get it--totally.
My Levi is thinning out, so much less chub, and talking more and more every day.
The hardest part is that he is more independent than his 5.5 year old brother!
Levi can put on his socks, pants, shirt, shoes. He even puts the toilet seat down after he pees (and no, I don't make my boys sit to pee, you weirdo :-P)
Lucas though, wow. Sometimes I think he is the two year old, he always needs help with dressing himself.
It;s funny how different these kids really are.
I want to read Indigo's birth story!
Love you,
xoxoxo
oh crystal, i'm so sad right along with you! it seem slike you just had your little guy, it really does. :) my clara is FOUR now and i just can't believe it. old people used to say to me when my first was just a baby, 'oh, the time just flies by. it seems like yesterday that my 30 yr old son was just born' and i would think yeah, right, lady. it's not going to fly that fast with me. but you know what, those old ladies were right. *sob* i SO want another baby, i want the teething and the babbling and the BIRTHING, i want that most of all... no, the nursing, i want the newborn nursing. anyway, i get it. love to you!
