Little miss V is three months old! I was watching some old videos of V from about a month ago, and feeling nostalgic about some things in the video that she no longer does. I know that she's only three months old, and that she has a lifetime of growth to go, but she is already changing so quickly...
I keep thinking that someday I am really going to miss this time period with V. While occasionally challenging, this is such a simple time - we just need to meet her basic, everyday needs. There's no disciplining to be done yet, and she's such a happy baby, who makes me giddy with her sweet smiles and (loud!) cooing. It's so uncomplicated right now. I'm sure that as she grows up and our relationship deepens and matures, it will be a different kind of wonderful, but I know that I will miss these days someday. I remember feeling like this when I lived in Rome for a semester in college. I kept having remind myself to slow down and savor each day, because I knew my time there would be over all too soon. I feel the same way about V right now. Don't get me wrong - it will be amazing to see her grow up and become her own person - become more herself - but I'm sure I will miss the simpleness and purity of these days.
