Days are long and years fly by
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and we decided that in terms of children, the most days go by slow yet the years fly by. I swear this time with Cohen is going by so fast although there are some tough days that couldn't get over soon enough. I guess it's because I know he's going to be my last baby and I am savoring every minute of his short lived infancy. I love being a mama. There just isn't enough memory in this blog to fill my emotions about how grateful I am that the Lord saw me fit to have these two precious gifts. I learned with Sophie how fragile a life is and how things can change so quickly. I don't take one second for granted. Even the ones that are filled with irritation, frustration and pure exhaustion. I look at my friends who are telling their children good by to kindergarten, high school and the out of the next to college and think 'WOW! That will be me tomorrow if these next 18 years go as fast as the last two and half.'
Cohen has decided to start Army crawling and boy can he scoot! He really just started inching around two days ago and now he can motor along any where he wants to go. The days...may have just gotten even longer! I am getting ready to do a full shakedown of this house and Cohen proof it. I didn't have to do too much with Landry because she never put anything in her mouth and rarely messed with anything after we told her no once....twice max. I don't think Cohen is going to afford the same luxuries but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. His Daddy is not so optimistic. I will post a video on his travels soon.
Last night we went to Belhaven's Bright Lights Festival. There was lots of great music, vendors and children's activities. Landry really had a big time. She took a little spill from dancing so hard and skinned her nose up a little but she recovered quickly and was back at it in no time. Even Cohen got in to the music and that little cutie was dancing up a storm to some Blue grass/Zydeco music. It was a hoot. The weather ended up being pretty nice and we really had a nice family outing.
