Reflection on the Past 8 Months
Every time I look at my daughter, I think 'Wow, she grew a lot.'
It's not only me thinking. She actually is growing really fast.
She already outgrew a lot of the clothes she got as a welcome-to-the-world gift. Her crib looks smaller. She keeps on meeting the end of the bed too soon when she crawls.
My wife and I were worried we'd sprain our back leaning into the crib to put our baby. Now she stands holding the rail. It's already time for the second shift down on the mattress level.
I've heard many others say that the early days will be missed.
You will never know the last time you pick up your child.
We are trying our best to capture all the significant moments on camera. Her first cry, first time trying baby food, first time standing up, and many more.
It's only been 8 months at the most, but we already started to miss those days. Memories linger by our fingertips as we swipe over each month in the cell phone gallery.
We know the best thing is the enjoy these moments and not dwell on the past. If good memories like these keep building on, I am sure the rest of the life will be meaningful.
