hey, could i borrow your time machine?

between our wedding (and trip to tulum) coming up in april, and my son's overnight ability to pronounce so many new two-syllable words, i can't even tell you how fast time is flying by me right now. everyone told me that when you have a baby, they grow up so quickly.

talk about an understatement.

he has learned at least 25 new words THIS WEEK. not just the basic ones either - in 6 months, i think his vocab will rival my own. and as if it's nothing, he is suddenly repeating every word we say. this is dangerous, no?

don't get me wrong - i don't wish he was still a newb.

[altho he did melt my heart in that day too]

i'm just more of a 'toddler person' than a 'baby person'. but honestly? i could bottle him at this age and keep this stage forever. i love the toddler stage. i love that he says 'love you' to me. i love that he demands i put him in his crib, wraps himself up in his blanket, blows me a kiss and waves 'bye bye. night night mommy' every night at 8 pm. i love his signature squee of delight that comes with my arrival after work every night. 

so, with that said, can someone lend me their time machine so i can come back to this time later on when i have a teenage son who gives me grey hair and wants to borrow my soccer mom mobile after school?
