"If I could keep you little..."

There's a book I've been reading to Dylan the past few weeks, it's called "If I Could Keep You Little". I don't think I have ever gotten through the entire book without getting a little choked up for some reason. It is so sweet and I hold and squeeze him tight every time I read it; when I read it I feel like it's saying everything I always think. Even though i'm sure when the time comes it will be just as enjoyable, but when I think of him grown up and not needing to depend on me anymore or letting me kiss him to death I get a little sad. Geno always teases me and reminds me that he's only 7 months old and that I still have a long time to go when I start to tear up about him graduating, moving out, or getting married. (what?! he's already 7 months old!) Jen and I have already decided that when the time comes we might try to secretly arrange for our boys to marry girls who have no family around or orphans so that they don't leave us hahahaha....kind of. What ever happened to months 4 to 6?! I remember him being 3 months and just realized he's 7 now when I tried to see if his 3-6 months clothes would fit him! I guess I'm in denial. Which must be why i'm still trying to stuff him in his bassinet!

For now, i'm trying to enjoy every minute since it is already going by too fast. The best feeling in the world sometimes just consist of taking a nap together and snuggling. My husband snuck in the room the other day and took a couple pictures of me in bliss, with my little man Dylan, when we were napping.
