All the little moments....
The challenging ones.
The ordinary ones.
The silly ones.
The happy ones.
They all go by way too fast.
Video 1: The Great Crib Escape. A milestone to give momma a big ole headache! I guess we'll be moving into a big boy bed before Mommy and Daddy are ready! Waahhh!
Video 2: 1,000 Questions. When you're finished with lunch, need a nap, but mom has a billion questions to ask you first... like where all your body parts are, how different emotional expressions look, what animals say, and more!
Video 3: 1, 2, 3's. Big personality shines through. He actually knows almost all his numbers 0-9 but likes randomly choosing a number and saying that number for whatever other number we ask about... gets mad that 6 and 9 are the same just flipped, doesn't understand why 8 can't fit either way, and can recognize "Mickey" anywhere and everywhere!

Sometimes Elliott outgrows clothes and I can throw it in the Goodwill box or pack it away without any thought. Then, sometimes, it's a lot harder. I held these little shoes in my hand and got a little bit of a lump in my throat. These were my favorite shoes on him. They were there for so many adventures while he ran hard and played hard. He's growing so fast. It's so bittersweet. I'm happy to watch him grow, but sometimes, little moments like this remind me that time goes by as quickly as a blink.
