Aware

I am so incredibly aware of how much Sofi has grown in the past seven weeks. When I reach down to grab her from her crib, there's a bit more strength that goes into lifting her small 12 pound body. I look back at photos from just a few weeks ago and my baby has moved from newborn to infant in an instant. I've even had to put some clothes away because they will never ever fit her again. Ever.

I stood in her closet staring at the tiny red dress she wore for Christmas realizing that I wouldn't be putting it on her again and I cried. Some nights even though I am exhausted after nursing her, I will sit in the glider and just hold her and soak in the moments that will never be again.
