9-jan-10--Chiku growing fast--breaking my heart...

My sweet little newborn is growing so fast. It breaks my heart... He is two months old today. It feels like maybe two weeks. The time slips away from me so fast, as does the newborn stage. I hear so many people say they prefer when their babies get a little older and have more personality. Not me, there is such innocence in the newborn stage that you never get back. He is so sweet and precious. I really don't want him to grow up at all. I want to keep him safely snuggled in my arms forever and protect him from the world.

I love him so much, I want him to have a life of joy and laughter. I want him to have confidence and strength. I want him to believe in himself and his potential. I don't want him to be like me. I don't want him to get hurt and struggle like I did.

I know it is inevitable, he will grow up. He will face challenges and heartache. Hopefully He will make better choices than I did. But right now, more than anything, I just want him to stay little. I want him to stay a newborn in my arms that is happy and safe and loved. I want to cherish every big grin, every coo and gurgle, I want him to be my baby as long as possible.
