Awwww......I think I'm going to add this post to my memories. I know exactly how you're feeling, and am happy to say 9 years into it, I could still watch my kids sleep all night long. The time goes by SO quickly and though I do miss the baby days, these days are just as, if not more exciting. I was just contemplating an accomplishment of Reiland's and thinking of how proud I was of him for achieving it all on his own. He didn't need me to get him through it.

Isn't it absolutely amazing how it changes your life? Before babies we would spend our days working, hanging out with friends, feeling like we were doing something SO important and then BOOM you have a beautiful baby and everything you thought was important takes a back seat.
