Precious Moments

I was taking Morgan to her room to put on her jammies and she was already very much asleep. When I was carrying her to the room, she was all snuggly in my arms with her head resting on my shoulder. Before I lay her down in the crib, I just stood there and held her close and tried to make a strong mental impression of the moment. Me, holding my little, sweet baby girl, so close and tight in my arms. I stood there for a full minute and I felt that warm, wonderful feeling...the sound of her breathing and her special baby smell. I wanted to capture the moment to play back in my mind for the rest of my life. With happy tears in my eyes, I put her in the crib and changed her into her jammies and the sands of time resumed their flow. I think that's the only way I'll be able to handle the fact that time passes so quickly. I must take a moment now and then and just feel and take in everything, so I won't have to feel so bad about the fact that she'll grow up so fast.
