Too Fast

Tonight Charlie woke up an hour after he had fallen asleep.  He was in one of those phases where he was half asleep, crying as if he was having a bad dream.
I wrapped him up in his quilt and we rocked together in the rocking chair.  I hummed "I am a child of God" while rubbing his hair back and kissing his forehead.

I used to lay on my back while his head was on my chest and feet reached down to maybe my belly button.  Tonight his neck was rested in my arm while his legs draped over my lap.  Ahh...my heart just ached!  When did he get so big?  

Feeling sentimental, I've been looking through pictures of Charlie's first few weeks...

 

Life goes by too quickly when you have a little person growing right in front of you.
