When I became a mom for the first time, within a few months, it was almost impossible to remember what my life was like before I became a mother. Now I’m a mother to two and it’s difficult to remember, just a year and then some later, what it was like when Hooper was a baby. It’s difficult to remember how we spent our days together, difficult to remember the way he moved, difficult to remember the little details that were then our everyday life.
Mothering Van has provided me with a glimpse of who Hooper once was and I’m reminded all over again how fast they grow, change, and evolve. Every mom says it and every mom means it, but it’s absolutely ridiculous how fast the time goes.
I was going through some old photos of Hooper and came across the one above of him playing with my old fisher price spin toy. He was 21 weeks in the photo, right aroundd the age Van is today. It gave me a bad case of deja vu as just the other day Van took interest in the same toy. It’s the first toy I remember Hooper playing with and now the first toy that has captured Van’s attention as well.
Your little boys seem very much alike, in many ways — appearance, finger sucking, toy interests, and general laid-back-ness. I can’t wait to watch ’em grow. You think time goes fast for you, it’s even faster for the aunt on the sidelines 😉
Oh, yes! Those sweet boys do look alike. And so happy!
Gorgeous blog! I am due with our first in two weeks so love to find other great mother/ family blogs.
