I'm melting over here, month after month, watching him grow so quickly...wondering how we got here so fast.
Weren't we just here??
And now treasuring those late night rocking and feedings that he doesn't need, but I enjoy that quiet time with him too much to break his habit. knowing especially that he's my last. (it's funny how my perspective and parenting has changed since my first and last baby. i never would have let middle of the night feedings go on this long with Hudson or the others. But trying to enjoy these baby moments a little longer one last time).
Already up on all fours, rocking back and forth.
Getting lost in those deep, blue eyes.
His hugs. Head on my shoulder; arms wrapped tightly around me.
That big toothless grin, but the constant biting and chewing, which proves that it won't be toothless for long.
The way he clicks his tongue...a new trick of which he's quite proud.
His soft baby skin that I can't stop kissing. and neither can his brothers.
How content and happy he is in his brothers' arms. even when they beg to hold him "standing up." (as I secretly spot him from beneath when Jake and Nate hold him, happy legs dangling).
peaceful, cuddly moments together in the early morning. before anyone is awake. I bring him in our bed with me, and he sleepily snuggles up to me just like those early days in the hospital when it was just him and me. moments and memories I will treasure forever.
Oh, Oliver! We love you so much!!
