Here is Little Guy at 7 months. I rushed out to get these photos done since he just started to sit on his own only 2 weeks before. I'm really trying to savor how old he is already, which is why I'm posting his portraits one at a time like this. I often catch myself getting frustrated about how long it takes to do everything with him during the day, from getting dressed, to eating meals, to sitting on the potty, and I hate myself for it. I need to slow down and enjoy them for what they are, and not try to rush "the moments". Tonight I watched him trying to catch bubbles in the tub, and the look of pure joy on his face was a very good reminder of why I chose to be a stay at home mom.
Amen on not rushing through the moments. It's so hard at times when so many things are pulling on us.
