Four. 🎈
Four years ago they were brand new to this world.
Still figuring out how to breathe.
Still curled up perfectly against our chests.
Still waking us every two hours and owning our entire hearts.
And now they’re full of words.
Big emotions.
Strong opinions.
Endless questions.
Tiny voices that somehow fill the whole house.
They don’t ask to be carried as much.
They want independence.
They run ahead instead of clinging to our legs.
Time moved faster than it was supposed to.
Every time we look at them, we still see that baby.
The one you held in the dark at 2am.
The one you worried over.
The one who needed you for everything.
We are proud of who they’re becoming.
So thankful we get to watch it but so aware of how fleeting this stage is.
No one warns you how quickly “just born” turns into “big kid.”
So hold them a little longer.
Take the photos, even on the hard days.
Let the house be loud and messy.
Because one day you’ll realize your 2022 baby is already four… and your heart will ache in the sweetest way! 💛4️⃣
