{My Babies}

I had forgotten what it's like to hold a small baby. To have them snuggle into your arms or bury their sweet, baby smelling head into you neck. I could hold Bailey all day and she would probably let me. Unfortunately I don't remember these tender moments with her sisters. It makes me sad. How quickly time passes.

The first time I held Kylee after coming home from having Bailey, I couldn't believe that my two year old baby was really that big. When did she grow too tall to lay across my lap? When did her head become so heavy on my shoulder? When did she grow up??

Then the other night, after a very dramatic "I can't go to sleep" meltdown, I rocked my first baby to sleep. It had been a while and as I looked at her sweet, sleeping face, I wanted to cry. She isn't a baby anymore either. How did this happen?

Sadly, I have realized I cannot stop time. I can't keep them little forever. And although I look forward to watching them grow and develop into the amazing women they are meant to be, they will always be my babies. I won't give that up. They will truly never be too big for me to hold on my lap or rock to sleep while singing their favorite songs. They will never be too big to be my babies!
