Recently I have been around a few newer babies. Newborns are so sweet. I know that it's not everyone's favorite stage but there is something very precious about it. I love their wrinkly skin. I love the way their scrunched up. I love how small they are. I love the way they sleep on you.
I really have enjoyed every stage so far. As the babies grow there is just more to love. The way they grow into their wrinkly skin. The way that they start to become more alert and observe the world around them. Brody since he was a newborn loved to listen to people talk to him. Now he does quite a bit of the talking himself and that is wonderful too.
After they become more observant with their world they start to interact with it. They start to smile. Maybe laugh. It's been amazing for me as I have watched Brody grow. Seeing him develop motor skills. Watching them get big and strong as they learn to roll over, crawl, sit up, stand. You also start to see their personalities. Which of course is wonderful.
I think of these new babies I have held it has just been a reminder of how small Brody once was. He is only getting bigger. He is in the stage now where he falls all the time. He is pulling himself up on anything and everything. Walking along furniture. He always seems to have a bruise on his head. He bumps his head constantly. He actually has an uncanny ability to get a bump in the same place, right at the top of his head in the middle of his forehead. He has a little bruise there right now. :) As soon as I think it is starting to go away he gets another. Today as I was changing his diaper I found more bumps and bruises on his leg. These bumps and bruises really remind me that he is growing up. He is becoming more independent. He wants to try and do more things on his own. Before I know it he will be a year old. I can't believe that a year has snuck up on me so fast. Not only do these bumps and bruises remind me that he is growing up but more then that before I know it my baby won't be a baby anymore, he will be a little boy. :)
