As we were enjoying our snow day as a family this afternoon, Kurtis made a comment about how sad he was that I only have 26 days left to stay home with Cohen. Immediately my head whipped around when I realized, umm, it really is already February!! I know I am so blessed that I got to stay home with the little man for 5 months, but has it already been 5 months?? I really enjoy our daily routine together and actually look forward to it everyday. It has been so fun to see him grow from a baby blob into a blooming baby. I remember my first week home alone with Cohen - how I was so unsure of what I was doing, or if I was doing it right or if it was going to hurt him and so on. But now, I love waking up every morning to his little smiling face and giggles and getting our morning baba as we watch the news. I love doing tummy time with him and encouraging him to make that one extra movement that will get him to roll over. I really love watching him sleep so innocently and wondering what he's dreaming of and whether he'll be grumpy when he wakes up. But my little man will already be 4 months on Saturday and it is so hard for me to understand where the time went. This is the side of motherhood that is going to be so hard for me - leaving him in someone else's care to enjoy this daily routine that I have grown to love. In all reality, I have been blessed with more time than most working mothers, but it is going to be so hard to leave my stinker come March.
