The most wonderful things are taking place in our life, and one of those things is Selah can finally roll all by herself. YIPPY! No more rescuing her and drying her tear-filled eyes. We are so proud of her! Today I realized that along with this breakthrough we are coming closer to mobility. With each new milestone she reaches we are thrilled and excited with what she is learning, but also a bit sad.
We continually look to see what our babies need to achieve next, but we forget about the last time they do something. The last time they lay in their crib like a cute little bump on a log, because now their arms and legs are flying all over the place. Or how you don't have to jingle their toy in front of them because they can do it all their own, or even when they grow out of your favorite outfits that they wear. And as I mentioned above, rescuing Selah because she's just so frustrated that she can't roll from her tummy to her back. Those days are gone. Even in the most stressful times of raising a child we need to remember that these times will pass in a flash and we're gonna miss them when they are gone, so enjoy them while they are here.
Let us not only remember their firsts, but their lasts as well (words of wisdom from author Karen Kingsbury).
