Ten Months and Counting!

Ugh! I can't believe our Charlie is almost eleven months old! I just want to freeze her in time. Charlie is a child on the go, so we don't get a lot of snuggle time. So each night when she falls asleep in my arms, I try to memorize her little face and hands, the way she breathes, the sound of her sleeping. Before I lay her in her crib, I hold her tight to my chest and try to memorize the way she feels in my arms. I never never want to forget!

Time can be so wonderful and yet so cruel. I love watching her grow older and learning new things, yet I know she will never be the same again. I love her so much and marvel at the beautiful soul in my keeping...even if it is only for a brief amount of time.
