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
