While You Were Sleeping

I am a worry wart.

I listen to parents tell me to "enjoy my child," things go by so fast.

And they do.

Antonio, within a span of a few days, was able to sit up on his own, then prop himself up to a standing position. At his pace, I'll be a grandma in a few weeks.

Sure, he is a pain in the ass sometimes, but I don't mind, as long as he's still a baby.

For this reason, I am so glad that I live in a country that lets me savor these few precious moments with my baby.

Sometimes, I catch myself thinking, like Emily Webb, stop, it's all going by too fast.
