*Sigh....*

I just feel like 'sighing' today...wait, is that even a word? Anyhow, maybe it's the pregnancy hormones or maybe it's just me becoming a sappy mother, but sometimes you just have to sigh. Deep breaths, right?

I took Caleb for his 2 year pictures today, and initially he was shy and uncooperative. But, the moods of a two year old change in an instant, and he was soon hamming it up for the camera. I left the studio with some precious pictures. He is looking more and more like a little boy, and not a baby anymore. In one of the photo poses, he was leaning against a chair with a sly smile on his face, and all of a sudden I had this flash-forward of this same pose in his senior pictures! Of course, I can't predict what he'll look like in 16 years, (or what I'll look like for that matter...it might not be pretty!) but his personality is just growing and growing everyday.

Caleb will be two years old on Sunday, and if I really sit and think about it, I don't know why or how those years went so fast. So much change and growth has happened, and it's exciting and scary to think about adding another child, and losing my special time with Caleb. On the other hand, I got to enjoy two years of uninterrupted Caleb time, which the next baby will not have.

So, I'm just going to sigh and take deep breaths throughout this coming weekend. Don't say anything to me about him growing up at his party, or else I might just shed a few tears. I blame it on hormones. And you, Mom.
