Baby Days.....

are precious.  short-lived.  a gift.  priceless.  so much fun.  You get the picture.  They are also incredibly fleeting (especially for those of us who meet our children at a ripe old age of 6 months or older!) and it causes me a little panic attack and makes me catch my breath here and there when I realize how fast time is going.  We are now (already) to the point where Roger and I look at our pictures while in Ethiopia and think (already) "Ari looks so little."  How can that be??  It was only three months ago.  But he has grown so much.  Two inches and 4 pounds to be exact since the beginning of February.  And he's acting like such a big boy these days with crawling all over and pulling up and learning the meaning of "no" and imitating us and taking little steps and eating big people food and all these amazing new firsts.  I was looking at our pictures at the top of the blog and thinking how we need to update them with some super cute more recent pics, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it yet.  I wish there was a way to "save" that beautiful, innocent babyhood and be able to revisit it here and there for the next......well, forever.  I really get it now when a mom says once my baby, always my baby.
