Day #275

Sawyer's last day of being a baby...

Family was pouring in today to celebrate Sawyer's 1st birthday with us this weekend.

Tomorrow is his birthday and today I couldn't help but think how much I will miss babyhood.

With my first baby I couldn't wait until she hit her milestones, and I always was extra proud when she did them ahead of schedule.

With the second baby it was the same way, but I was much more relaxed about stuff.

With my third I try to stop time and hold onto every single moment....

We are 99.9% sure that this is the last baby, so it makes it even harder to see these moments pass by.

These are moments that will never come back.

He still doesn't sleep through the night.

He is yet to sleep in his crib.

He's not walking yet.

And he still nurses from me.

But that's all ok.

There is plenty of time to get those things down pat.

After everything we have been through after the miscarriage, and then with his "ticks"

It's all ok.  He's happy and healthy, and he just needs me a little bit more then the other two kids did.

I have two other children to care for, so Sawyer always has to wait for his needs to be met.  So I think that's part of the reason he's a little extra needy sometimes.

I can deal with that....

 Grammy gave Sawyer his birthday present early, and he LOVED it!!

Great Grandpa Bigsby walked in the door and Sawyer crawled right over to him and reached for him.

Sawyer hasn't seem him in a few months.  It was the most adorable thing, and it made my Grandpa so happy.

I am so excited to spend this special day with my family.

 Don't get me wrong I am excited to see Sawyer move onto the next levels, but I will continue to treasure each and every single moment, and when I look back I will realize that I never took anything for granted.
