Growing

Someone told me that by the time her baby was 6 months old he slept through the night. Another mom bragged her daughter slept through the night at 5 months. I looked at my son who was older then both of those babies at 7 months and he had yet to sleep through the night. He would sleep through most of the night and would wake up once. I would change and feed him and back to sleep he would go. I was starting to think he was falling behind the other babies. 
I asked his doctor if this was normal and the doctor assured me nothing was wrong with him after about the fifth phone call to his office he said to relax more and just enjoy these moments because they don't last long. So, I tried. And I decided he was right I need to capture as much as I could of his babyhood which was slowly slipping away. I was thinking in 4 short months he would be a whole year old then two and three and then pre-school and college would not be far away. 

I brought the best camera I could afford on Amazon. It wasn't expensive but better then the throw away cameras I got at Walgreen's. I was on a mission to capture every smile, frown, funny face, laugh I could. And then something incredible happened. At 8.5 months just when I was getting the hang of trying to capture every little thing he started walking.  I cried tears of joy and sadness. My baby was growing up too fast. And a month later he was running.
