Tonight I was nursing Evan and admiring his feet. With each little rub I was taking in how fast he is growing. It has really been amazing this last month to see what a little boy he has become. Everyday he is becoming more of a little boy and less of a baby.
He has such likes and dislikes. He doesn't know that when I say to him it will only take one second for Mommy to go to the bathroom. As soon as I let him go, even though he is within an arm's reach he will yell and tell me he does NOT like me putting him down.
Nights have been rough recently. Evan has taken to waking up every two hours again. Sometimes every one hour. It has made is difficult on me as I am so worn out the next day. I realized this morning that is isn't just teething going on but alot of development. In the last day, he is pulling himself up on furniture and holding himself up to a full stand. Tonight I noticed he did it with hardly holding onto anything at all. I was cleaning up after dinner and turned to see Evan standing onto the diapers.com delivery box. There he was holding onto that box and standing there with a full grin on his face. I clapped and celebrated his accomplishment which made a grin become a full on laugh.
Tonight, in those quiet moments rubbing my child's feet, I felt present and thankful. Thankful that I am taking each and everyday in one by one and all the time knowing that these little feet are soon to be bigger than I can hold.
