Since I drop Jackson off at school 45 minutes before I can take Molly to school, she and I often spend some quality time at one of our local coffee shops.  This particular morning, she was doing lots of loving on her baby brother.  It warms my heart to see her this way since she really wasn't too happy about having a baby brother instead of a baby sister.

Since Grady got his 6 month vaccines, he has had a pretty unpleasent nose.  This is also causing him to have a harder time sleeping.  Nights like this are rough.  He was up about every two hours.  It's exhausting and I do look forward to the sleepless nights ending, but I also look at Jackson and Molly and remember just how quickly time goes by.  Sure, I'm exhausted and just want to sleep for 24 hours straight, but I also want to soak it all in.  Jason and I have agreed that we don't really remember Molly as a baby.  So much was going on with Jason being gone for a month and then moving from Massachusetts to Ohio.  We missed something.  Now it's happening again with our upcoming move to Colorado.  I don't want to miss anything.  So, if that means sitting back and doing my best to enjoy holding my baby boy at 2am night after night?  So be it.  Yes, I'll be cranky and frustrated, but I hope I don't forget to sit back, relax, soak it all in, and enjoy these fleeting moments.  He needs me and I need these times together.
