Yes – something else that I am working on. Trying to enjoy the moment and, and more importantly, the process.
I’m trying to not worry so much about my to-do list, my messy work space, the dirty clothes stacked on my laundry room floor, the dishes needing to be put away. I’m trying to just enjoy my little one – heaven knows he won’t be little for long. I’m trying to just enjoy my family at this stage of its existence – and not worry so much about the mess.
I know that my home will never be spotless again. I know that my stack of photos waiting to be archived will just get taller. I know that the amount of dirty laundry will just get larger. For now, I am going to do what I can – and enjoy my family, make some time for myself, and enjoy our journey.
I don’t want Ammon to grow up too quickly – what mother would? But I am beginning to come to grips with that fact that he will. I can’t stop it. He is growing so quickly. Just in the last week he has changed so much – in every aspect. Size, knowledge, ability, strength, hair… everything. He isn’t quite a baby anymore – he is turning into a little boy.
I’m trying not to look too far ahead. I’m trying not to forgo the present for what’s on the horizon. I’m trying to enjoy the moment – because even though Ammon is only 4 ½ months old, I have already learned that time passes far too quickly.
Despite all these things, I can’t help but look ahead – just a bit – when I see this picture. I’m not sure why, but whatever the reason, I look at this photo of Ammon and instead of seeing the baby he is, I see the boy he will become. I may be trying to live in the now, but I love this glimpse into the future. He already seems to be comfortable in his own skin, and I love the way that he is just so Ammon.
We look forward to continuing to see Ammon grow into even more of a special person than he already is.

That is an adorable picture of Ammon ;).
Isn't it funny how priorities change? I am having (and graciously trying) to do the same. There will always be laundry, dishes, etc... Time with those we love is more important.
yep it's a process. I couldn't agree more. It's so fun to watch him grow. Love the cute picture. Thanks for posting.
