Our oldest little man turned three last month

and our youngest little man turned one this month.
(Squish's 1st birthday photo shoot)
With Bug, our oldest, it took me a long while to get to the point where I was excited about all the milestones. Well, I was excited and I celebrated every one as any parent would but to me each new milestone also represented the fact that my baby was slipping away from me. I think every parent wishes they could keep their children as babies forever.

You all know how long and hard the road was to conceive Bug and I felt like he was hitting each milestone at a very rapid pace. I, at times, felt a bit cheated in having my baby for as long as possible.

As the time has passed and with the birth of Squish each age is starting to feel like a new chapter in a book waiting to be read. The first two years of Bug's life held so many exciting things and it seems with each age--or new chapter-- it is just getting better.

At times I still have moments of sadness when I see just how old our kids are but for the most part I am happily awaiting to see how the current chapter is going to turn out.
