Remember

I want to remember all of the little details about your sweet 15 month old life.  

I want to remember how much you love rocks and carry one with you at all times.

I want to remember all of the blurry, out of focus photos I have because you move non stop.

I want to remember that 15 months is when I noticed you wanting more independence and how sad this makes me. 

I want to remember your curiosity and the way you look at the world with an open mind.

I want to remember the way your blond curls glow at sunset.

I want to remember the way you insist on carrying around two sippy cups.  You won't have it any other way.

I want to remember the way you always swing your right arm when you walk.

I want to remember you're smile that always melts my heart.

I want to remember each moment and kiss you one too many times.

I want to remember all of these things because you are growing up too fast.  I want to freeze time.  I want to write down all of the cute things that you do.  I want to slow down, and enjoy each moment, even the hard ones.  I want to remember what a blessing you are to me and that you are a gift from God. This time is sacred, you are only young once.  Even though time is moving quickly, I am so thankful for all of the memories we are creating each day.
