Just because...

Ever catch yourself just looking through your camera roll? I know I do. I marvel at all the little moments I'm blessed to capture. Especially the moments of my sweet angel, Max.

"Thanks for the club cracker, GigiMa!"

             Franklin Afraid of the Dark       

"Just being silly in my playpen, Mama."

"I'm so ticklish!!"

"Thanks for the cookie at lunch, Dad!"

And with a smile like this I hope he's saying, "I just love you, Mama."

--Never take the little things for granted, even if the little thing is just being able to capture a moment in time to look back on. It's hard not to take it for granted living in the world we do today but just try and remember that there are people less fortunate than ourselves & although it's just a picture they may not have but one to share.

Slow down....

Boy, oh boy. Sometimes I feel like the world is just racing by me 1,000 ft per second. I just can't believe my little one is already NINE, 9 months old. Seriously. 

It's bittersweet to me. I feel so lucky and blessed to have a healthy, growing baby boy; a boy who loves me and needs me 24/7. However, at the same time it makes me sad to know that eventually this too will pass (just like everything else) and in the blink of an eye I'll be sending him off to pre-school, or he'll no longer want to be with me or need me like he does now. 

If you're reading this, your probably thinking I'm being a bit dramatic but I can't help but feel the way I do. He's truly an angel, heaven sent and I'll miss the day this little angel no longer "needs" me in the ways he does now. 

I know he has a lot more growing to do until then but I feel like the months are just passing us by so quickly. 

I love you SO much, Maximilian Vaughb Perez. 

Xo, Mama
