Moments I Don't Want to Forget

I do my best to make sure I have all of life's little moments documented, but there are some moments that you just can't capture with a camera. There are times when Ethan does something so sweet that I just want to lock that memory into my mind. I'd love to say that I'll remember all of these little moments 50 years down the road, but my memory has a tendency to fail me so instead I'll write them here. 


I want to remember...

- The way Ethan runs so freely when I take him outside. He spots airplanes, does happy dances and is thoroughly consumed with exploring his little world.

- Ethan is not much on cuddling, but yesterday he asked me to sit on the couch with him while he drank his milk and watched his shows. I put a blanket over us and he snuggled in for a good 30 minutes with his head on my chest. Seriously, I was eating it up. I would have stayed there forever.

- Last week Michael and I were playing with Ethan upstairs and as he ran past me he clearly said "I love mama". He said it in a way that seemed so natural, so unprompted. He just wanted me to know and my heart melted. It was almost his first sentence...he's saying "love Lola" for quite sometime now.

- I love getting fishy kisses through the shower door when Ethan takes big boy showers with his daddy. 

- I love getting hugged randomly throughout the day. This is new and very sporadic, but it's so nice he is learning how to express love and to know that he feels it.

  1. Love this. I've been making notes of the things I don't want to forget and was planning a blog post just like this one. :) And random baby hugs are the best!

  4. This just melts my heart and makes me anxious for the times to come! My little guy isn't much of a snuggler either, so I too adore any time he puts his head down on my shoulder or cuddles up. You are smart to write these down!

  5. Oh I love the snuggles! J has NEVER wanted to snuggle until this week and I've squeezed in so much snuggle time because next week he'll be over it :)

  6. I feel like each day it is getting harder and harder to capture all of these moments because don't they change SO quickly? I never ever want to forget the way it sounds when she says her quirky little baby words. But, they transform to the "real" word so fast that there's never enough time. I think I should just set up hidden cameras 24/7 in my house so every.single.thing is documented.
