PhotoFriday

Photo Friday. 

A single photo from the week, a single sweet moment. 

A moment to savor, cherish, and remember.

Campbell-

I love when I peak outside to check on you from the kitchen 

& you are playing so contently by yourself. 

Although I did love this moment & hope to always remember it 

there is another I couldn't capture on camera that I hope I never forget...

This morning you woke up at 5:40. 

You do this a lot. 

You think you are ready for the day, but your little body needs more sleep. 

I scooped you up like I always do & patted your back while you laid your head on my shoulder. 

You were already back asleep by the time I made it to the couch. 

Usually, I can't wait to put you back in bed so I can catch a few more z's myself. 

This morning, I just held you. 

Cherishing the moment. 

Trying my best to make a memory.

I listened to your little gurgley snore with a huge smile on my face.  

Why is it so cute when you snore, yet so obnoxious when your dad does?!

You would stop every once in a while only to mumble something out loud. 

You get that from your mom :)

Then your brother started to kick you. 

... & your mom started to cry a little. 

I couldn't help but try to imagine what the future is going to be like for the two of you.

I know first hand that having a little brother is The. Best. 

Just as Uncle Cole is to me, little Emerson will always be your best friend. 

You will love each other... & hate each other at times too.

You will both do anything for the other. No. Matter. What. 

I could have held you forever just like that.

Your brother had other plans. 

He was head butting by bladder... & just like that the moment was over :)

I hope I never forget or take for granted the times I get to snuggle you all to myself. 

I know you will grow up someday & be too cool for your mom ;)

And I know I will need to be reminded occasionally during your teenage years 

how much you really do love your mom.  

Life is about to change for you in a big way. 

We only have just you all to ourselves for 2 more days!?

I love everything about my little CamMan. 

Even though it feels impossible, 

I know I will love you even more when I see you with your baby brother. 

I love you with my whole heart Campbell!

xoxo- Mom
