Growing Up and Holding On
I didn't think that I would get the feeling of not wanting Izzy to grow up so early in his life, but he is getting so big and being a big boy. Izzy has been sitting up for ~10 sec at a time for awhile. Today he was sitting up long enough for me to take pictures. I'd say he sat up for 30 sec to a min without intervention. These times leave me torn between excitement/pride for his new accomplishments and a desire to hold on to every moment of his past. I'm the type to take as many pictures as possible to keep the moment because I have a horrible memory. Gonzo has a great memory and prefers the image in his head to photos. So, Izzy will have two perspectives told to him when he asks about his past. This is a good thing. Back to Izzy growing up. I thought I would get these feelings his first time walking, when he goes to kindergarten, his first time riding a bike... I will enjoy his milestones small and large and try to preserve the memories as best I can.
He is so big...well kind of (~17 lbs., ~26in., and 4.5 months big).
Looking forward to his first Halloween. He will be a bumble bee (thanks to Uncle Devon and Aunt Jan). He also has a skeleton sweat suit found on markdown (Gonzo couldn't resist).
