No matter how many times I've begged for time to "SLOW DOWN ALREADY!!"...it simply hasn't...
Thankfully, those cheeks are just as chubby and those lips are just as plumb as they've always been...
But those sweet little rings that lined his arms and legs...they just about disappeared now...
He's just as happy and sweet as he's always been...
And even though it took him a few months to appreciate his pacie...he still loves it more than any other thing in his possession...
He still wears smocking because his momma is in control of his attire...but I fear this may be my last summer to dress him in a jon-jon...I'm sure to shed a tear or two at the end of the summer when the jon-jon era comes to an end...
(I love the picture above...even though Tripp isn't smiling & looks like he wants to punch someone...he looks so much like a "Becker" in this picture and my Papaw use to always say he was going to give us a "knuckle sandwich"...this was Tripp's first knuckle sandwich)
It hurts my heart to look back at these pictures and realize how much time has gone by and how much I've already forgotten...like how tiny newborn feet are...now they're extra wide feet that I can't seem to wedge into his red Keds no matter how hard I try.
And only 2 years have gone by...I'm telling you I will be a complete basket case when or if my babies ever leave the nest...and I'll probably be the WORST mother-in-law in history to the sweet girl who marries this boy...because when I look at him I'm taken back to this moment...
And I'm not sure I'll ever believe someone will be good enough for my baby boy! Who still makes this face...
Oh sweet Tripp-man, I know time is going to continue to fly by right before my eyes...it's my goal to treasure and enjoy each moment because I know you have great things ahead of you. I love you more than you will ever know and I'm so thankful that you were given to us to make our family complete. Happy 2nd Birthday buddy!
