Today starts week 15 for baby William. I can't believe he is almost four months old! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. He has changed so much and I LOVE watching him everyday. I was just looking at some of his earlier pictures and I can't believe how much he has changed already. Tear. ;-) I love thinking about his first three months of life. I love being in the moment with him today. And I am looking forward to watching him grow. My heart feels like it could burst with the love I feel for him. I came across this quote and thought it was interesting. It's a great reminder to be in the moment with your child and to not let life get too busy.
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
