They have to grow up sometime

Birthdays never made me anxious or sad....until I had my babies. Every year when their birthday month rolls around I start getting sad. I know they have to grow up and to be honest watching them grow up is one of the biggest joys of my life. Seeing them learn new things, change and develop into their own little people is such an amazing experience...my head knows this but my heart hurts for the moments when I just held them and looked in their big innocent eyes with their gummy smiles. I look at this sweet little face and I cannot believe in less than 1 week this little baby boy will be 4 YEARS OLD. Slow down little buddy, let's just take it a little slower!
