Our little girl is approaching 3 months and it’s amazing how much she has changed. She used to be so teeny… so small and skinny. So much so that it’s hard to imagine/remember how small she was before now. I look at pictures of her back and how wrinkly it was, and how it’s not wrinkly anymore and I miss it. It’s hard to understand how you can miss something that you can’t exactly remember, I just know that it’s different and I know I miss it. I wouldn’t change her as she is now—she’s much better behaved, not quite as intolerant of anything even remotely uncomfortable, and she has a personality now, and you can actually interact with her—I’d just make her smaller, like when she had the wrinkly back. It was so amazingly soft. I’m a little bummed I didn’t spend more time touching it. If I could just revert her to how she was right after she was born… if only for a moment. But I guess that is the wish of most parents.
You could spend your life trying to get back the moments you lost, but then you’d miss the moments you have.
Stop growing, little one.
