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.
