Reminiscing

Tonight I spent some time looking over past blog entries. I do this every so often. Usually when something is going on that makes me stop and think about how fast time is flying by.

Today we started the process of re-doing Max's bedroom. That's right, I said BEDROOM. It is officially no longer a nursery, it is slowly turning into a big boy's bedroom. The crib is gone, his storybook prints are down, the dresser is no longer a changing table (and honestly hasn't been for over a year). Over the next few weeks I plan to change his room into a modern, eclectic mix of star wars and space. I'm hoping it will be a room fits who he is now and makes him happy.

So, I'm guessing the removal of the last vestiges of babyhood made me sad and I needed to reminisce about the past few years. While doing this I discovered 2 things:

1) Good gravy, my child is no longer a baby! He has grown so much even just in the last 6 months. I think sometimes I still see him as a little baby and then I will go to put him down for nap and he wants to cuddle in my lap. I pick him up still envisioning that sweet little newborn who fit perfectly into my arms. Then he stretches out on me and his legs hang over the side. While it still is a perfect fit it is obvious he isn't what I would call "little".

2) I used to write a LOT on this blog. I would post about the goings on in our household as we waited the impending arrival of Maddox. Our lives were changing and I had lots to share as we prepared to turn our world upside down. That changed after Max. I no longer continued to write about life in our household, mostly I just post pictures with a few facts about what has been going on. While the majority of you (all 5 of you) are probably satisfied with just the pictures, I found myself missing reading what I was thinking during all those beautiful pictures of Max.

The result of the pondering and discovering I did tonight: I'm going to write more. I love being able to read my thoughts during that time of anticipation and I guess blogging is the new diary, so you get to read my thoughts too. There are still lots of things to write about, life with a two year old and the prospect of raising said two year old to be a fruitful member of society is quite thought provoking.

If that isn't why you visit this blog, that's fine. Just skip over my words and move right to the pictures. Believe me, I understand the draw of Max's cute face and I won't ever blame you. Otherwise, enjoy the ramblings of this mom.

Oh, and here's your picture:
