Never grow up. Always laugh hysterically at the vacuum, the word “doggie” and your daddy going down the stairs. Always be just the right size, small enough to hold on my hip and cuddle your head into my neck. Always say “dada” and “oh oh oh” when you wake up in your crib. Always laugh at your face in a mirror. Always scream at the top of your lungs, for no good reason except that you just learned how. Always need me to pick you up when you fall backwards and unclog your bottle when it gets stuck. Always sing to the music with “ah”s and “mmm”s. Always get Cheerios stuck to your chubby little hands when you’re trying to jam as many as possible into your mouth. Always cry when you need me and stop when I hold you. Always sleep two doors down and don’t ever go anywhere I don’t take you. Always gibber and babble and giggle. Always be ticklish and curious and perfect and mine. Don’t ever, ever grow up.

just beautiful. brought tears to my eyes. i'm saying the same thing to my 7.5 month old : )
LOVE this… don't you just wish you could freeze time, just for a little bit?!
So glad you're writing these "moments" down. It's the best way to freeze frame these precious days. Blessings to you & your boys!Ann
Funny, I used to beg for the same thing 27 years ago. Please stay my baby, please always be two doors down at night, snuggled with your sheepy. But funny thing, you didn't stay that way. And, I love having you now just as you are. Please stay this way forever.
