I had some time this afternoon to do a little de-cluttering and organizing. Isaac was with his grandparents and Rodney was taking a nap, so I set to it. I was working in our office, separating trash from recycling and I made my way to the bookshelf in there. I found the 2 baby books we received as gifts before Isaac was born. I had previously spent a little time filling them out, mostly the current events section (cost of a postage stamp, popular tv shows, etc.). One of them actually has the first 2 months recorded, and that's about it. I'll get to it one day, I'm thankful for the blog to remember most of that stuff for me.
One of the books is much more detailed month by month, and the other goes through 5 years and is more spread out. It has general firsts like first tooth, first trip to the zoo, things like that. I don't know what came over me, but I almost broke into tears just looking through the book. I don't typically get emotional over Isaac growing up, but this hit me in a strange way. Maybe it's because my baby fever is growing by the day, maybe because he's growing and changing so quickly. The only time I almost cried on his birthday was when everyone sang Happy Birthday at his party. I almost lost it then. The moment hit me like a ton of bricks.
This post has no point, so I'll sum it up by saying they grow so fast. When you have a baby people feel the need to tell you that all the time, and you get sick of hearing it, but you quickly realize how true it is.
