2 months already

So after a very eventful month, we finally look down on a calender only to see that his 2 month birthday is the day before mothers day. Have it all planned, taking him to the zoo since he's more alert and observant now; but why do i feel so sad?
This morning i was folding up two weeks worth of laundry for all three of us and then as i'm folding a little onesie it hits me...He can't wear his newborn clothes anymore and never will he again! Looking at this pile of clothes before me that have been demoted from current to memories, and the only time i'll see him in it again is in the pictures that i hopefully took while he had it on. It's just so symbolic in how we as people grow and change so fast, it gives you a deeper appreciation for your parents. If i feel like this at 2 months, i can only begin to imagine what my mother and father feel when they look at me 25 years later.
It is truly a blessing to watch my child grow and see him take in the world as a brand new experience. I have seen him eat his first meal outside the womb, gives us his first smile, watched his daddy give him his first bath; so many first that it's humbling. And to think he has so many more to come, first steps, first day of school, first job, even first girlfriend...::sigh:: I know it's going to be so hard not to see him as that little fragile newborn that me and his speed demon father brought home from the hospital only going 55 mph. I just have to accept that i will never be ready, but i just need to be ready to adapt.
After nights of hardly any sleep and days of trying to catch up on house cleaning, it's hard to remind yourself to look up and enjoy the time you have in front of you. But I will make every effort to LIVE in every moment, to relish in beauty of adaptation for the sake of not missing a thing. To let his first be my first and we experience the world together, Gabriel for the first time and me to relive the experiences that i have grown to forget. I love my little boy, and i am thankful that i get to help guide him through his journey of finding himself as a man.
As for these little newborn clothes that now have no use, what shall i do with these? I guess we'll just have to box them up in storage for a couple years, and if baby number 2 is a boy...well then i get to relive the memories and the blessing all over again! Until then, I vow Gabe will thoroughly enjoy his days as an only child, besides i'm in no rush to go back to living the nocturnal life :0)

Happy Birthday my little angel...Mommy and Daddy's loves you!
